Driving
Control over life direction, agency
Elephant
Wisdom, memory, strength
Driving
Driving represents your sense of control over life's direction and the choices you're making. The conditions of driving matter immensely: driving on a clear road suggests confidence, driving in fog indicates uncertainty, losing control of the vehicle reflects real-life loss of control. Driving someone else's car may indicate living someone else's life or using borrowed resources. Back-seat driving represents wanting control without responsibility.
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.
