Elephant

Association: - Wisdom, - memory, - the power of the perseverance. Question: - Where does my own wisdom lie?

Psychologically:

Not only in the reality, but also in the dream the elephant is a pachyderm who hardly knows around his destructive strength. As a dream symbol he shows the strength of the subconsciousness, it is not controlled by the Ratio, can be absolutely dangerous. Nevertheless, this strength is controllable and also can be used sensibly. The tusks and the trunk are unequivocal symbols for the male sexuality. For the interpretation of the dream it is important as the elephant behaves. If it attacks or goes through wildly, is this one warning to the dreaming before uncontrolled Triebhaftigkeit. If he is ill, nevertheless, injures, tiredly or dies, this points to affected vitality or to disturbances of the subconsciousness. A peaceful, strong and diligent elephant means that the strength of the subconsciousness is controlled by the Ratio successfully - or at least the wish for it. The pachyderm can be also interpreted as a motherly being, seek mighty shelter we. Transfer on the awake life: We should build on the fact that to us no evil can wear something. Who rides on an elephant, plans a rise in higher spheres. Besides the following interpretations are still possible:

elephant with driver on the nape indicates the strength and energy with which one overcomes obstacles on the life and one is escorted by mind and logic.
elephant in the circus can warn about excessive vanity and craving for administration with which one reveals himself easily to the absurdity.
female elephant with boys symbolises that one longs for a quiet, peaceful and harmonious family life.

Artemidoros:

Elephants can indicate if they are proud, daredevil and horrific animals living at liberty people of suitable kind. If one looks to himself in the dream with the head of an elephant instead of his own, this is a good portent, - the dreaming will get involved in discussions which exceed his forces, arise from it as a winner, from his superiority derive big profit and in this manner to his enemies give timourous respect, however, with his own people come (in favour). Many which applied for high civil or military offices reached after this dream face (to the aim of her wishes). An elephant beyond Italy and India looked, indicates because of his skin colour and body height danger and fright, because the animal gives fright, particularly to those which are not accustomed to his sight. In Italy he means man, the emperor and a very high dignitary. Therefore, he prophesies reliefs of these people if he carries his rider peacefully and obediently if he is recalcitrant, however, damage. A pursuing or menacing elephant often announces illness. If he packs and kills the dreaming, he prophesies to him the death, - he does not take him, will get that in extreme mortal danger, but be saved. Since the animal is as one says, to the Pluton holy. He means to a woman completely nothing good, neither if he approaches, nor if he carries them. I know a very rich woman in Italy - she did not suffer from an illness - which dreamt it, she rides on an elephant. Short time ago she died. Because the elephant slowly grows, he the luck causes like misfortune slowly.
