Being chased by an elephant occurs when the brain works through the feeling of being overtaken by a heavy, unstoppable weight. This dream shows how a person meets the pressure of social or institutional powers that are too large to move or turn away. The mind uses this image to rehearse the sensation of being overtaken by something that possesses a gravity and authority beyond individual control.
The dreamer faces a situation where the scale of the demand or the consequence feels overwhelming. This pressure arrives as an external force that cannot be easily negotiated with or escaped. There is a risk of being crushed by the momentum of these collective or systemic powers. The dream shows that these forces are simply the ground upon which the dreamer is currently standing.
The movement of an elephant chasing shows the dreamer attempting to catch up to a massive demand that is moving away.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
