Mammoth
Woolly mammoth, Mammoths, Mastodon
A woolly mammoth belongs to the Ice Age, a shaggy giant that once walked the frozen plains alongside early humans. When one lumbers into a dream, it's often carrying something huge from long ago: an old memory, a family story or a feeling you assumed had melted away. Its thick coat adds endurance, the ability to get through a cold, lean stretch. Since 'mammoth' also means enormous, the dream may just be about a task that feels far too big.
