Can anyone interpret this for me?

[jub jub]

In my dream I see a baby elephant with bright colors (like a parrot) chasing a tiger. Both the tiger and elephant are about the same size as a Great Dane. The tiger runs by me and I grab him. Being afraid of his claws I tell the tiger that he is the most beautiful creature in God's kingdom and he looks at me and says "Really?, You really think I'm beautiful?" and I say "Yes!" and I let him go with no consequences.

Does this mean anything or just a random firing of the synapsis?

Hi jub jub

I think this means something.  Whilst I'm not going to interpret it for you, I will try and give you some pointers to help you interpret it.  This is because only you, the dreamer, knows what it means, for only you know yourself.

Firstly, you need to find out what the tiger and elephant represent to you.  For instance, I once dreamt about a pirahna fish in a tank on its own.  After much thought, I realised that I associated "teeth" with pirahnas.  I then realised that my elderly next door neighbour was always clacking her false teeth when we had coffee together.  She also lived on her own in a big house.  She represented the pirahna.  This took a few days of contemplation.

So what does the baby elephant mean to you?  Why a baby?  Could it be a younger person?  Or a new emotion that you are feeling?  And so on.  And then the same applies to the tiger.

Then once you've worked out what/who these animals represent (they could also be fears/emotions), you need to find out why the elephant is chasing the tiger and not the other way round. 

It could be that the tiger is something/someone that you are afraid of and are pandering to so as not to get hurt.  That makes sense to me, but of course, it was your dream and you need to interpret it for yourself.

I hope the above helps and let us know if you get anywhere with it - it sounds like an obvious symbolic message dream to me.

Thanks for your input Sarah. Always much appreciated.

There were some other areas of my dream that had me scratching my head. The good thing is, I wrote them down in my dream journal so I can reflect on them at a later date.

It's a hoot to go back through the dream journal and read over some past dreams!

I had a thought about the tiger this morning.  You mentioned claws.  Do you know a female with particularly long varnished fingernails?  They could represent the "claws".  She might be the one you are being careful around, for fear of getting hurt.

Or alternatively, is there someone "trying to get their claws into you"?

More food for thought!

A women with extra long nails...hmmmm...I wish. lol

Actually, I went to a dream site and looked up elephant, tiger and the association with bright colors and it all made sense to me.
