How are you doing these days - I read that it's pretty humid where you are!
So...your husband's dream - so it seemed like a REAL elephant, yes? (not a cartoon) Does your husband have some big project that he's working on right now? Is he afraid that it's not going to fly? Worried that he won't be able to bring it in for a safe landing?
Elephants can symbolize Family - what's going on with HIS parents - a project with his parents that he's worried about? hmmmm....It doesn't mean that whatever he's working on WILL crash it is just showing that he might not feel like he has the energy to bring it in for a safe landing....
