have 8 baby elephants.
Linda McLemore Dunn texted
me this morning. I mentioned
the dream, and she sent
me the dream interpretation.

An elephant both in the spirit world and in many cultures is
considered a revered animal. Seeing an elephant in your dream is
a very powerful symbol of hope, wisdom, and relationships. You may

from can determine the significance of the elephant in your dream,
because so many different cultures believe fundamentally different
things about elephants. Another common meaning to an elephant
appearing in your dream is to jog your memory about something.
Elephants have long been associated with good memory recall, and an
elephant appearing in your dream could be pointing your attention to
an important detail in your life that you need, but have forgotten. Pay
attention to the symbols around the animal in your dream and this will
assist in helping you interpret the meaning of their position
