The keeper of memory bathes in the waters of feeling. Elephants love water — and the elephant in water is the dream of ancient memory being washed, soothed, or stirred by present emotion. Something long remembered is being emotionally reprocessed. The elephant never forgets; but in the water, what it carries can finally be softened.
