Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
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.
