Baby Animal
This can suggest feelings you have about youself when young.
Feelings or memories concerning your own babyhood
Such dreams about baby animals can also indicate a desire for a baby; vulnerability; fundamental survival behaviours such as dependence, crying and bonding.
A baby animal sometimes point to pregnancy or a desire to be pregnant.
Example: ‘I am putting four of our puppies under the grill and cooking them.’ Maureen. LBC.
Although Maureen hasn’t eaten her puppies yet, her dream illustrates how food is used to represent emotional needs. Maureen is childless, has a lot of mother love, planned the pregnancy of her bitch, and gets enormous satisfaction from rearing the puppies. She is literally hungry for the exchange of love and care she finds in dealing with her puppies.

last night i have a dream about saving a baby hippo,an orca, and a shark- from being drowned,wonder what’s the meaning
Valerie – It would have been helpful to know your age and what you feel about the creatures in your dream. And of course, in waking life you couldn’t drown an orca or a shark. Also a baby hippo spends lot of time under water.
So I believe your dream is about those things that go on in you unconsciously, like growth, changes in your emotional age. That you saved them from drowning suggests almost something like ill health you are recovering from, or a recovery to do with your growth of what you realise about yourself. Obviously you have a caring nature to save the creatures. So ask yourself what you are caring for that was about to disappear from consciousness.

Well I just had a dream that I was a beach somewhere (it had to be up north somewhere in the Atlantic because there were cliffs around and I live in Florida and no cliffs here). Anyway a herd of adult elephants were walking past me in the water and a little baby was trailing behind and looked at me so I followed the herd and picked up the little baby elephant in my arms and carried him to the shore with me. Then I fed him (I actually remember this) parsley, carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce from a blue pail with a yellow handle. The sky was a pretty pink color like the sun was setting but there were some very dark grey clouds in the distance. So after playing with the elephant (which was about the size of a 1 year old baby I ran through the ocean to catch up with the herd to return him to his herd before the rain came. Then I woke up! He sure was cute though.
You seem to be a very happy dreamer Tyler; apart from those very dark clouds in the distance.
An elephant in a dream can be a very significant symbol, indicating great strength. In India one of the Gods is Ganesh, the remover of obstacles. So caring for a baby elephant suggests you will continue this relationship as you age, and it will become an important power in your life. Remember it when you meet those dark clouds in your future. Maybe one day you will dream of riding the mature elephant, a very good feeling, directing all that strength.

I had a dream a few nights a go about caring for a baby kitten. I don’t recall the color, nor was it a major factor in the dream. I mothered this kitten like my own baby years ago. What I found curious about this little kitten is it refused to be held by anyone but myself. Near the end of my dream I realized this kitten was not what it appeared to be but a cross between some type of ant eater and cat. Then I woke up thinking, well that’s ok I still adore ‘it’.
Stella – The dream shows you the sort of love you have – for almost any young and helpless thing. I have the feeling that you have a lot of love to give, and maybe you could find a way to give it – it is, after all, a great gift.

I had a dream just last night that a baby rhino wondered into the yard at my dads house, while I happened to be there, and from then on, I began to take care of it. I loved the little thing and I remember so often in my dream feeling or thinking about how cute it is and how much I want to take care of it. And then at some stage, a baby husky also came into the yard. It didn’t look like most husky’s however, as it was much whiter than one would imagine a husky to be. So I started taking care of the husky, and again, I loved it, but not the same way i loved the rhino. While taking care of the husky for what seemed to be some time, I realized I had forgotten all about my rhino, and as I rushed back to find it, I discovered it was dirty, hardly able to get up, and clearly hadn’t eaten or drank anything for a while. I felt terrible, and fixed him up. After that I learned to take care of both my babies together.
I have no idea what any of this means. I know its an extremely long dream, and never before have I dreamed of anything like it. I’m 16, feeling a lot of pressure at school and having the typical drama between friends. Don’t know if any of this could be reflected in this dream…
