For as long as I can remember Boo has been a very vivid dreamer. Good dreams or nightmares are in full on living colour for her and are so lifelike that at times she gets confused when she first wakes. This isn't surprising as I also dream this way.
Boo often dreams of elephants. Sometimes the elephants are associated with good dreams but more often than not the elephants are part of her nightmares.
These huge creatures chase my little Boo through empty streets, across grassy plains, through houses, they crowd around her and scare the bejesus out of her.
I used to think it was a little funny...I mean...come on....elephants aren't scary...are they? We would often have a little chuckle that most kids have nightmares about monsters and such, but our little goofball Boo has nightmares about elephants.
I was talking to my friend Sharon about it at work the other day. She is really into dream analogy and she urged me to find out the meaning of dreaming about elephants. I did..and wow! It says a lot about this special little girl.
To dream of elephants:
To see an elephant in your dream, suggests that you either need to be more patient and understanding of others. The elephant is also a symbol of power, strength, and intellect. Alternatively, as a creature with an introverted nature, the elephant may thus be depicting your own personality.
We are constantly being told by Boos teachers that she is exceedingly patient and understanding of her fellow classmates, that she shows an amazing amount of compassion to the child that is being left out, not coping or is just feeling a little blue.
I have always said this girl is an old soul. Right from the get go she had this look of having been here before and she often talks about Crockets great grandparents and how much she misses talking to them. I have strong feelings that Boo has come back this time round to do something special...I don't know what. She has this sparkle, this energy that at times almost zaps out of her. Yes she drives us insane with her constant babble, with the full on energy all the time, with the ability to be the worlds greatest klutz (right up there alongside Aunty Kandle)...yet at the same time she melts us with her kind words, her life giving, melt into your body, back patting hugs and her laughter that is never far from the surface.
Maybe in time she will learn how to control the elephants in her dreams, maybe they are a power animal for her that will stay with her for life....and maybe we should start taking the mystery out of elephants for her. I just wish they wouldn't wake half the house at such ungodly hours....so take note you elephants....LEAVE MY GIRL SLEEP UNTIL AT LEAST 5AM!

not bad, you spelled elephant correctly most of the time. Only one time you messed up and spelled it elpephants.
