Dreams involving animals, particularly large and powerful ones like elephants, often symbolize strength, wisdom, and emotional memory. In your dream, the elephant seems to represent a significant aspect of your life or a relationship that you may feel is under threat. The act of trying to shoot the elephant with a bow and arrow could indicate feelings of inadequacy or pressure to confront something important but feeling unprepared or incapable.

The presence of someone pushing you to take action may reflect external pressures in your waking life, possibly from friends, family, or societal expectations, urging you to achieve something that feels daunting. Your poor aim suggests that you might be struggling to meet these expectations or that you fear your efforts may not be enough.

When the elephant looks at you suspiciously after you try to hide your weapon, it indicates a fear of being judged or exposed for your intentions. This could relate to feelings of guilt or anxiety about how others perceive your actions or decisions.

The fact that the elephant then attacks someone else might suggest that you are concerned that your actions could have unintended consequences for those around you, or it could symbolize a fear of being blamed for a situation you feel you can’t control.

Overall, this dream may be urging you to reflect on the pressures you feel in your life, how you perceive yourself in relation to others, and the importance of addressing your fears and anxieties. It could be beneficial to consider what the elephant represents for you and how you might approach the situation with more confidence and clarity.
