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.
Rope
Ropes represent connections, lifelines, and the dual nature of bonds — they can rescue or restrain. Climbing a rope suggests ascending through effort. A rope bridge represents precarious connections. Being tied with rope indicates feeling bound by obligations or relationships. A tightrope represents the precarious balance required in some situation. Cutting a rope suggests severing a tie.
