A Bit of Context into… Elephant Dreams

The Spiritual Meaning

Elephants are very powerful creatures and to see an elephant in your dream is a positive sign of spiritual evolution and spiritual enlightenment. Dreaming about an elephant or having visions related to an elephant means that great spiritual awakening is on it’s way to you.

The Religious Meaning

In Buddhism, the white elephant circled the Buddha’s mother three times before entering the womb, all after appearing and delivering a lotus flower to her using the elephant trunk.

The Psychological Meaning
