Elephant

An 'Elephant' in a dream represents will power. Animals in dreams represent habitual thoughts, and the specific animal reveals the nature of that habit. An elephant is the largest land animal -- massive, powerful, and nearly unstoppable once it starts moving. It also possesses remarkable memory and deep intelligence. This reflects the habitual thought pattern of willpower -- the persistent, powerful, and unwavering commitment to follow through on what you have chosen. An elephant does not rush. It moves with steady, deliberate force. Nothing in its path can easily stop it. This is the nature of true willpower -- it is not frantic energy, but patient, relentless, unstoppable determination. An elephant also lives within a close-knit community and protects its young fiercely, reflecting how willpower protects and supports everything that matters to you. Pay attention to the condition and behavior of the elephant. Is it healthy and strong, reflecting a powerful and well-developed will? Is it chained or caged, indicating that your willpower is being restrained or suppressed? Is it charging, reflecting the forceful application of your will toward a goal? When an elephant shows up in your dream, it is reflecting the state of your willpower. If the elephant is strong, your will is strong. If it is weak or restrained, you need to strengthen your will through the concentration exercise and disciplined follow-through on your commitments. Remember, willpower is making a decision and following through with relentless, unceasing action. Cultivate the elephant within you.
