Hi Belinda
Nice to see another Belinda in here! I must admit I don't have a lot of ideas about your dream, but I can give you a few pointers.
Often a good place to start with dreams like this is to get in touch with the emotion of the dream. How did this dream make you feel?
I believe that the elephants are something that is personally meaningful to you. What is your past association with elephants? Think back through the past - something might twig. How do they make you feel in the dream?
In some Asian countries, Elephants are significant from a spiritual and religious viewpoint. A white elephant is a sign of good luck and times of peace and wealth to come in Thailand.
Perhaps your dream might be to do with you choosing to explore your spirituality more in waking life? Going down into a dark place can often represent exploring the unconscious side of our mind or lives.
I don't know what it means when you dream in black and white. I can't recall doing that myself, but in the members dream forum we've lately been discussing 'black and white' and to a few of us it represents the clarity we are starting to find within our emotional lives. Perhaps 'black and white' is also something significant to you? Do you tend to be 'black and white about things' and miss the color? I note that in your dream, by going deeper into your unconscious, you are seeing the muted colors, even though you are dreaming in black and white. Maybe you need more color in your life?
Just a few thoughts to get you started. You will find that if you post a few of your own thoughts under mine, sometimes it just all suddenly starts to make sense when you begin somewhere. In the members dream forum, sometimes we start with something that just makes no sense at all, but once everyone puts their heads together, quite often these dreams start to take on quite a magical insight into something wonderful.
