A Flash of Elephants

After the ill fated conversation the other night, I was sitting on the couch..and realized how tired I was. I closed my eyes only to be bombarded immediately by a flash vision. The first was of two, seemingly identical  elephants, but with hair, similar to that of a mammoth. The hair was darker toward the top of their bodies and lighter at the bottom. They were facing me head on, so I didn't see their 'rears' as it were. In a way their legs appeared longer, or it may have been simply because of the hair.

It looked very much like this shape, head and leg structure..but without tusks..no tusks. Trunk hanging straight down in front.

And as I said, he was brownish..with lighter colors toward the legs. Looking a little bit more like this guy in coloring.

Still..no tusks

Remember, I saw this from a front view..as if he and his twin were looking directly at me.

Of course, I opened my eyes in complete shock....asking 'where the fuck did THAT come from'...(blink blink)
Then..when I closed them again..I got a pic of an elephant. Almost identical to this one..just no tusks..and no bushes, trunk up as this one. I don't believe it's ears were as big though.....I saw only what you see in the pic below..a basic head shot from the shoulders up.

After doing a little research about Elephants...here is what I found.

Elephant Meanings and Symbolic Thoughts about the Elephant

Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily with strength, honor, stability and patience, among other attributes.
To the Hindu way of thought, the elephant is found in the form of Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. Ganesha in all his magnificently vibrant elephant glory, is intent on bulldozing obstacles on your behalf (funnily, male elephants are termed "bulls").

However, depending on the dream’s details, the elephant may be a symbol of a large burden. Additionally, in the dream you may be making efforts to remember something important and of great magnitude.

Now, of course, one cannot look up elephants without "Ganesh' coming into play, so of course, I had to find out some info about "Ganesh"  This is a condensed version:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha
Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom
Ganesha is the Lord of Obstacles, both of a material and spiritual order. He is popularly worshipped as a remover of obstacles, though traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to be checked. Paul Courtright says that "his task in the divine scheme of things, his dharma, is to place and remove obstacles. It is his particular territory, the reason for his creation. However, both functions continue to be vital to his character, as Robert Brown explains, "even after the Purāṇic Gaṇeśa is well-defined, in art Gaṇeśa remained predominantly important for his dual role as creator and remover of obstacles, thus having both a negative and a positive aspect"

If you want to do more research on Ganesh, great..for now, I think by combining the elephant/mammoth flashes and Ganesh, I have come up with what I see as something 'good'..a boundary I have crossed I suppose. I'm ok with this. :) :)
