Answer 1

Sorry I can't help making a joke- maybe you are having dreams of trying to wash elephants because you dream of cleaning up the gov't ;)

OK

This elephant signifies an inner struggle of emotion. The dream is acknowledging that in your waking you life you really want to "clean up" your life, but on the other hand you realize this will be a BIG job.

A person who is dealing with issues of substance abuse might have this dream

or

A person who would like to change a very ingrained personal trait, but has their doubts that they can do this.

or

A person who is facing the completion of a challenging project, but doesn't feel up to the challenge

You can get to the issue that this dream is pointing to by asking yourself, "what in my life am I currently feeling overwhelmed and pressured by?"

Answer 2

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.

To dream that you are riding an elephant, indicates that you are in control of your unconscious and aspects that you once were afraid of.
