What are elephant dreams about?

Hey everyone. I had a dream two nights ago that I can’t get out of my head. In my dream I was witnessing an elephant drowning in the ocean. I couldn’t do anything - It was like I was paralyzed. Simply subject to watching this strange tortuous moment for this animal.
Does anyone have any interpretation for these symbols? I know drowning in a dream is common... but the elephant?

Thanks.

I'm sitting in bed shaking because I need to get this out of my head while it's still fresh. This was the worst nightmare I've had, at least in living memory.

​

It started with me having to move back into my parents house. Not sure why, but it felt like something unfortunate had happened like I lost my job or apartment. It appeared to be early winter, because it was cold the whole time. I remember setting up an air mattress in the workout/junk room downstairs that leads to the basement. I felt horrible, like completely emotionally drained and depressed, but also unsettled and worried because my parents were never home.

​

I remember being half-asleep on the air mattress in the middle of the night when I thought I saw what looked like my mom going into the basement wearing black robes. I remember it was so cold and dark, but still being able to make out vague shapes in the gloom of the basement beyond, more people in black robes. Then I saw it.

​

It looked like an elephant's head had been mounted against the back wall, but it was still alive, if barely. I could feel its dead eyes glance over at me, tongue lolling out of its mouth as the basement door swung closed, and this horrible sinking feeling came into my chest like I had witnessed something profane and evil.

​

I remember starting to cry in the dream out of sheer terror, and feeling like I was going to die.

​

The dream then shifted to the next morning where I was still terrified, but also angry towards my mom for, apparently, being part of some secret cult. This is the part of my nightmare that hurt the most, because I genuinely love my mom. I remember screaming and crying at her, but she didn't react at all, like I wasn't even there. She just handed me a diary and went back downstairs into the basement.

​

In the diary I learned she wasn't really my mom, but some crazy woman who had stolen me and my sisters when we were babies, and had been lying to my dad the whole time. I immediately ran out of the house and dialed my siblings and dad crying and screaming, desperately trying to tell them about the cult in the basement and the diary. They all showed up to the house at the same time and we hugged and cried together before going into the house to confront our "mom", who immediately came charging at us with a knife.

​

At this point the nightmare abruptly ended, and I'm still on the verge of tears. I feel like I should call my mom, but there's still some aching part of me that hasn't woken up from the nightmare and is worried about what she might say. I don't know what the hell this all means psychologically, but I'm going to do happy things today to try and counteract this horrible feeling.

This was the weirdest dream i ever had

I just found out about this subreddit so I figured id tell you this. So around 2-3 weeks ago i had the weirdest dream i ever had in my entire life. At the beginning of my dream, i woke up and opened my laptop, i dont know what went through my head but I decided to play [this game](https://web.roblox.com/games/23578803/Hotel-Elephant) on roblox (i havent played that game in years), right when i enter a “couple” take me as their child for some reason… I decided to roleplay with them. Less than a minute later i saw a bright light infront of me for 2 seconds, next thing i know i warped into the game.. my “parents” were walking in a corridor and were far away from me and called me, i rushed to them but suddenly two men appeared in front of me, held me, and kidnapped me. Then i woke up again (im still in the dream) strapped to a metal bed, they were holding some tools saying something along the lines of turning me into a chair. My dream then cuts from first person to third person somehow, i saw an old lady asking for room number 625s key at the cashier, the cashier gives her the keys, she goes into the bathroom, and takes off her disguise and reveals that she is actually my roleplay mom. Then my dream goes back to the two men with the tools preparing to turn me into a chair, i see a bright light which was the rooms door opening, my roleplay parents were here to take me back, they then save me… the police
came to capture the two men and then went with the men. I go back into our “family”s room and joke about me turning into a chair. My dream then cuts to me out of our room walking down a hallway, i then meet a person called parsley and his friend called MemeMaster69420. They called me and challenged me to a “Meme Wars”. It worked kinda like pokemon but instead of pokemon there were memes. I only had a dababy convertible while they had alot of legendary memes (Ugandan knuckles, dat boi, trollface, etc..) at the end i somehow won, just when i won i woke up irl and felt really confused.

I remember telling people in my dream that I had a dream of shooting an elephant in the head, and the bullet went through its skull. I also had a dream that I was looking for my puppy that I gave away (my 8 week old puppy died almost a year ago) and that I wanted him back. I remember crying a lot in the dream over the elephant tho. Like I felt traumatized that I killed the elephant. What can this mean?

Hi all, so I had a dream, walking through a palace that looked Babylonian or Assyrian idk… I find a room, a throne room , there’s a beheaded carcass of an elephant on the floor, and a strong God like king, tall with a large crown and large beard, with glowing golden eyes and dressed with a white like robe? Shirtless but with gold jewelry and a large golden crown like those ancient temples in the Middle East. Anyways. He picks up the enormous carcass and lifts it above his head so as to tip the part where the head was removed of the elephant and begins drinking it’s insides as it pours out to his mouth, as he still holds the carcass above he turns to look at me almost as if showing off his great strength in defiance. I’m in awe and I wake up. Anyways lemme know if anyone has any clue to this weird dream
