Elephants in dreams seem to be a fascinating subject in myths. Elephants seem to be associated with power. The loss or gain of power however depends on what the elephant does in your dream .
Take the example of The Buddha. Maya devi, the mother of Siddhartha had a dream that a seven tuckered elephant was piercing her womb, just before the birth of Siddhartha. It could well be a nice way to describe the arrival of the Buddha. But I have to think of Maya devi who never got a chance to share her view of the world with her son! It was her dream after all, and she died a few day later after the birth.
