Dream – Pay no attention that elephant.
I dream that I am at City Hall, in the office. My purpose for being there aren’t quite clear, however I am ushered up to the Mayors Office. In his office, there is a large dead white elephant laying on its back. Everyone seems to be ignoring this dead animal. I am trying to move out of his office, but he says he would like to talk with me.
As I begin to talk, I explain my side of the story from the museum, he looks at me with a smile, but doesn’t seem to acknowledge or even want to really talk about what happened.
I wake up thinking of the saying: Pay no attention the the elephant in the room.
Of course, this particular dream elephant was dead – so perhaps this is a dead issue, and shouldn’t be pursued. EOD
Those with this power animal feel things deeply and respond to those feelings from a place of inner knowing. Because their vision is limited they tend to look straight ahead and cant always see what going on around them. Learning to shift our focus to view the whole is helpful.
Elephant’s medicine includes strength, royalty, connection to ancient wisdom, removal of obstacles and barriers, confidence, patience, using education opportunities, commitment, gentleness, communicating in relationships, discernment, intelligence, compassion. If this is your animal guide, these virtues are a part of your natural character. By applying them in your life soul evolution is accomplished.
In Buddhist tradition, the Buddha picked the form of a white elephant as one of his many incarnations, thus the rare appearance of a white elephant is still heralded as a manifestation of the gods.
Elephants can teach us that gentleness, commitment, and communication in relationships is very powerful and necessary to keep relationships alive, trusting and loving, whether it be friends, family or partner.
