My Sweet Elephant

[avad]

I dreamt many things this morning...tidal wave again...holding breath as it passes over me...somehow getting into a hotel and pulling myself and an elevator up manually using rails in the elevator shaft and all my strength..rooftop...B's sister looking out to the horizon, ready to become her 'alter-ego', B's mom being brought in by the police, traumatized by the wave, stuttering, broken sanity. She had been 'bringing Christmas' to a native tribe, was wearing a beaded necklace gift from them. But now, had gone insane.:(

But another part of the dream was my favorite:
I had an elephant.
A beautiful huge full-sized elephant. And we loved eachother utterly and beyond.
I was wiping dust and sand off it's big beautiful face so slowly and we looked into eachother's eyes with Love.
Oh such love. Makes me smile to remember.
I pressed on its left shoulder in such a way to tell it to lie down...He needed to, exhausted. Then I curled up right there on the trunk by the face and we slept as we 'always did'. My elephant and I.

Your pictures make me go MEEP!

Your post made me remember a dream have had on and off.

I am usually at a condo at the beach with my parents. At some point the water comes up higher and higher. We're staying on the 5th floor or thereabouts. The water smashes against the building. Sometimes I am in our room, sometimes not. Sometimes I run and somehow get away. One time, I remember, I was in the condo looking out through glass doors at the big waves of the sea coming to crash against the building. I can hear the glass creak under the pressure of the waves and wonder at how the glass doesn't break. Somehow, it never does.

It's a pretty clear image, seeing the water come up and smash against the doors. I can remember seeing bubbles and bits of debris is the water. I think, "wow, this whole building is submerged. How is it the water isn't getting in? How am I going to get out without letting all the water in?"

For some reason I also run around the condo parking lot being chased by security guards. I usually get away by jumping down stairs like those guys to in this Nike commercial.

Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.

- samwise's recitation of the Oliphaunt Song
(J.R.R. Tolkien)

We just belonged to eachother.

ive had several dreams about elephants. i wonder what they symbolize personally. Can i add you?

[avad.livejournal.com]

of course you can add me. no need to ask, really, it's a nice thing.:)
elephants....I'm not sure...this was my first.
But so beautiful and vivid.
I do want to go to the Meenakshi temple in southern india and be blessed by a temple elephant there though. They sort of tap you on the head with their trunk.:)
I....just really want to look in the eyes...*sigh*
there's something...a memory..something calling me...I hope it will fall into place in india
