Dream about baby elephant and being deserted on an island.
So I had an interesting dream the other night involving being at sea with a baby elephant. From what I recall I was on a small wooden boat in the middle of the ocean with a group of other small wooden boats. But what was unique about my boat was that there was baby elephant on my boat. The elephant would sometimes try to jump in other boats and I had to pull it out of the water. Eventually me and elephant fell off the boat and got stranded in the ocean but I grabbed it and swam to a nearby island with vegetation. In the dream I watched an animated video that I spent 12 years on the island with the elephant before getting rescued. Is there any meaning from this dream?

I dreamed about a beautiful island with a white castle in the middle. It had a subtitle with the following location “Almacanto, Kantos”. I looked up “Almacanto” on Google and turns out there’s a hotel...
Also
“Alma” means soul in my language, and “Canto” means singing.
Not sure if relevant.
What do you think about that?

A yacht that never went back, it only went under!
I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in and gamble all thier money challenging me! They lose and end up crying!
I leave the casino to go pray in the mosqou, i meet 2 men who run the mosquo and they tell me the mosquo's location has changed, they said too many things that i forgot what they said!
I forgot and went to the old location just to find a yacht in a sea or an ocean! I said why not hop on the yacht, anyway it will come back!
When i was on the yacht i saw islands, all the places i've been to before, it felt like a flashback of my life!
Then no more islands, it started to get darker yet darker!
Suddenly the yacht flips like 70 degree leaving me holding into it with only my head not submerged into water!
The yacht flips back to normal with a creepy annoucer voice aplogizing for the accident! At the same time a robot that looks like a creepy version of TEDD (check call of duty black ops 2's TEDD) appeared on an upper plane of the yacht, the voice seems it came from him then he disapeared! (also he seemed he was pulling down a string that caused something to emit steam, it was like the cho cho thing on trains)
The darkness kept increasing until it became completly black! I almost can't see anything!
I started asking if anyone else is on the yacht... No answer!
This time the yacht started sinking! I panicked so hard! I kept looking around in the darkness, i didn't find anyone! I was alone! I shouted as hard as I can!
While shouting i realised i was actually dreaming so i decided to shout 'til i woke up.
Then i woke up, atleast i though so because i was still in a dream!
I don' t remeber much but it was rather a normal beatiful day! The only thing not normal that my grandma said i was saying dirty shit while asleep!
I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in...
