Dreaming of an elephant usually stands for a strength that can carry heavy loads with patience. Despite its huge body, an elephant moves calmly, and this dream often comes when you are handling a big responsibility yet feel a kind of steadiness inside. In many cultures the elephant is also seen as a symbol of wisdom.

  • An elephant walking calmly

    You have the ability right now to keep going patiently, even in a hard situation.

  • An elephant charging at you

    An enraged elephant on the charge means anger or wounded pride that you have held down for a long time wants to burst out at some point.

  • A weak or sick elephant

    Somewhere in your mind you are worried about your source of strength, such as your own health or a person who holds the family up.

  • Riding an elephant

    It speaks of self-control and confidence, as if you are able to put a huge force to work on your side.

There is a popular saying that an elephant never forgets an old path or an old event. So this dream sometimes comes to remind you of a lesson from the past or of how deep an old relationship runs.
