Restaurant/Cafe - represents sociability, the search for emotional or sexual satisfaction, hunger for company or sexuality. Alternately, a fear of being alone.
Windows - represent your points of view, perspectives and glimpses of insight. Windows in our houses allow us to see the world on the out side, the windows in our dreams may encourage us to better see the world within ourselves, as well as the world outside. Looking out the window suggests you are, or need to be, aware of the world around you.
Water - represents your subconscious, and your accumulated life experiences, and the flow of 'feeling' energy. It is also a symbol of new life, refreshment, vigor, energy, cleansing, emotional stirrings, fertility, growth, and creative potential. The condition, or movement, of the water symbolizes your current feelings and emotions. Examples: Clear calm water would depict a feeling of overall good health, and well-being, clear thoughts and a focused mind. Muddy watter would suggest unclear, or 'muddy' thoughts and emotions. Turbulent water symbolizes turbulence and turmoil within your emotional life. Dark water suggests depression, dark thoughts or moods as well as emotions and attitudes that are hidden that want to be made conscious. River - symbolizes the feelings and emotions that flow through us or are immersed in, the process of life in our own bodies; connecting with emotions, sexuality, and mood. Also, the flow and events of our life and the events within.
Elephant - an emblem of enormous strength, sovereignty, stability and power. Also, most cultures revere the elephant as powerful and possessing a strong memory. Since our common acknowledgment of elephants is that they have powerful memories, to dream of an elephant may be an association with the act of something forgotten in your life. Baby Elephant - (Baby animals) - connects with pregnancy, or feelings about babies. Yourself when you were young and feelings or memories concerning your babyhood. Also, vulnerability, and fundamental survival behaviors such as dependence, crying, and bonding.
Trainer - symbolizes control through teaching, or example. If he did not remind you of anyone specific, the trainer represents an unknown, or unacknowledged, male aspect of yourself. Human beings (male and female alike), are curious, questioning, and have a need for information, and spiritual expansion. But... we all have masculine and feminine aspects (or sides) to our subconscious. The masculine aspects would be the part of ourselves that we view as brave, strong, stubbornness, authoritative, logical...etc. The feminine aspects would be the part of ourselves that we view as emotional, nurturing, tender, yielding, sensitive...etc. When we dream, all the different parts of our 'inner selves' interact, and 'come alive', as though they were different people. If he does remind you of someone else, you need to think about your relationship with this person.
(jumps in to reuse elephant) - Rescue - In dreams of rescuing, you are either doing the rescuing or are in need of being rescued. If you are doing the rescuing, you likely see yourself as a leader, shepherd, parent, or role model to others. Who, or what you rescue...and what you rescue them, or it from, ...and how you did it, often reveals how you see yourself within a particular network of relationships.
Being too late - your subconscious may be telling you to be more perceptive and to use more foresight when making plans. Being too late suggests that you may be feeling unprepared and distracted in a particular situation in daily life or in regard to long term goals.
Drown/Drowning - suggests there is some area in your life where you feel you are unable to "keep your head above water", or that you have emotions are threatening to overwhelm you, or 'drown' you....perhaps by work, obligations, too many people making too many demands you, or by life itself.
Crying - In our dreams we experience a variety of emotions. Crying in the dream generally has the same meaning as crying in daily life. It is a release of negative emotion, frustration, or fear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are you facing something for which you feel totally unprepared? Is there something in your life causing an emotional issue....possibly some repressed memory from your early childhood? Do you feel the need to be around people most of the time?...or fear separation from someone specific? Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions lately?
Hope this gives you something to go on, best wishes!
