I had the most bizarre dream and don't have any idea what it was all about and it's driving me nuts. The dream was about me holding a fish tank which was only about half full and I was watching a very miniature baby elephant splashing around in it. A friend looked over my shoulder and asked what I was doing with an elephant in my fish tank, I said it just climbed in . She said it was not good for the fish, there were only a couple of fish in there and the water was a bit murky, so I lifted the little elephant out and put it on the grass, it was standing but then it's trunk fell off. I was horrified at this but my friend said don't worry it will grow a new one. Then I woke up. Please some one tell me what the heck this was all about.
Water is often a symbol of the unconscious, and mucky water even more so. They say an elephant never forgets, so maybe the dream has to do with a memory/exerience from your past. Baby elephant = a child, relates to something that happened to you long ago. "Not good for the fish" could mean that it's unhealthy to avoid such memories. Trunk falling off after the elephant moves, but the elephant being able to grow a new one could mean that you have found yourself in a new circumstance and it has been difficult but you will survive and be better than you were before.
