Bee
Bees symbolize hard work, community effort, and the sweet rewards of labor. A beehive represents organized collective effort. Being stung may indicate a painful consequence of social interaction or a wake-up call. Bees also carry sacred symbolism in many traditions — they were seen as messengers between worlds. A swarm of bees can represent overwhelming social obligations.
Elephant
Elephants represent wisdom, long memory, patience, and gentle strength. In Hindu tradition, the elephant-headed god Ganesha is the remover of obstacles. Dreaming of elephants may suggest you need to remember something important, exercise patience, or draw on deep reserves of inner strength.
