Can You Connect With Animals From a Past Life

The Baby Elephant in My Dream Turned Out to Be Real

Last night, I had the strangest dream.

I was the proud human of a rather unusual pet. A baby elephant. Yes, you read that right. It was a chubby, cuddly, ridiculously adorable baby elephant. He looked incredibly real, not like the AI-generated, glossy versions we’re bombarded with these days. What stood out was a slender little trunk, a fluffy tuft of hair on his head, soulful eyes, and a naughty tail that seemed to have a personality of its own.

We were living in my parents’ old penthouse. I could see him prancing about in our terrace garden, completely at home inside the wire-fenced area where my mother once nurtured her kitchen herbs. He was free to wander in and out. I had no clue where he came from or how I had ended up with an elephant for a pet. But there he was, owning the place and my heart.

The one thing I remember vividly is a conversation with my mom about what we should feed him. She suggested sev, yes, the spicy Indian snack mix that no animal should ever be offered. So typical of my mother to suggest a totally inappropriate food for animal consumption. She’s done that with every pet we’ve had, out of pure love, choosing to ignore how it might affect the poor animals digestion.

I dismissed her idea quickly. “Elephants don’t eat sev,” I said, as I grabbed a couple of bananas from the fruit basket on the dining table. But he wouldn’t eat them on his own. So I mashed them gently with my fingers and fed him tiny morsels. He slurped them off with such trust and tenderness, my heart melted. I remember wondering how we’d manage his growing size, or the legality of keeping a wild animal as a pet in India. But all of these doubts were washed over by maternal instinct as the little fellow sucked at the the last remnants of the banana pulp from my fingers.

When I woke up, the dream was still vivid. I glanced at a photo of my late pug, Sam, that sits by my bedside. He’s my companion and gentle guide, even in spirit. I often turn to my animal communication sessions with Sam when I’m looking for guidance.

“Who was the baby elephant?” I asked him silently.

Without pause, Sam replied, “His name is Vayu.”

“Vayu?” I blinked, still groggy. “Who's Vayu?”

“He has a connection with you from a past life,” came Sam’s calm reply.

“Wait… was I a mahout in a previous birth?”

“You took care of him,” Sam said simply.

“Why did he come into my dream now?”

But Sam went quiet. That was all I got from him.

At breakfast, I shared the dream and Sam’s message with my parents. But the curiosity lingered. Later that day, I typed ‘Vayu elephant’ into Google, just to see. And to my utter surprise, I found him.

Yes, there’s actually an elephant named Vayu.

Wow! That was a discovery. Turns out, Vayu is a rescued elephant found in the forests of Northeast India, where he was used for logging. When he was found, he was in critical condition, with a broken limb and multiple health issues. He’s currently healing at an elephant hospital in Uttar Pradesh. And guess what his favorite food is?

Bananas.

Just like dream Vayu.

What coincidence!

Here’s the article I found about him:
🔗 Read about Vayu the real elephant

Of course, the real Vayu is about 52 years old so it’s unlikely he’d have been my pet in a previous birth. But maybe… just maybe… he was an elephant even back then, and I was his human. Who knows?

The believer in me feels that Vayu appeared in my dream for a divine reason that I have not clue about.

As someone who’s explored animal communication, this was a whole new doorway. Until now, I’ve mainly connected with pets who have passed on. But this? This felt like a soul memory from another time. Proof that we can connect with animals we’ve never met, even from lifetimes long gone.

Isn’t that a beautiful thought?
