In this article I explain in detail what does it mean to dream of elephants.

Before giving way to the interpretations, I remind you that it does not mean the same to see a baby elephant swimming in water or running, yeah is alive or dead, playing or angry.

What is the meaning of dreaming about elephants?

You have to take into account an essential factor to analyze the meaning of dreaming about an elephant: the region where you live. If you are in an African country, in India or where the mammal is a religious symbol, it is interpreted that you feel respect towards him. On the other hand, if you are European or American, it can represent respect for others, majesty, emotional maturity.

However, as I have already explained, it is essential to add other aspects such as your attitude during sleep, the sensations you had when you touched an elephant, if you played with it or if it attacked you.

Other interpretations and symbols of an elephant

Dreaming that you are traveling on top of an elephant. When you get on the animal and start moving with it, it means that you are an independent person, with the ability to decide for yourself.

You are not bad at choosing the paths for your future and your decisions are very clear. But this governance gives you an additional virtue: you evaluate the risks of each step you take, a guarantee for your professional and personal future.

Dreaming of dead or injured elephants, or with killing one. It is interpreted that you do not know how to grow personally, or your incompetence when it comes to getting resources for your business.

There is a lot of ivory traffic, and seeing how you take advantage of a dead elephant, which you yourself have killed with your hands, is associated with an unjust personality.

You do not care about the means as long as you reach success as quickly as possible. Ambition is good, but don't turn it into greed because you will have nightmares.

Is it a baby elephant? When they are babies like Dumbo, it means that you are eager to bring a baby into the world. You want to have children with your partner.

Perhaps you are already pregnant and the dream reaffirms your desire. I advise you to read more about dream about babies here.
