Dream about an elephant

An elephant is a massive, lasting authority that occupies the space of your inner life.

This weight is not necessarily a burden to be cast off, but a reality to be understood. You might find that the dream is asking you to consider how you stand in relation to such immense power. A capacity for dignity is already part of your movement. This elephant is the shadow of a greatness you are beginning to inhabit.
