What does it mean when you dream about a giraffe?

Because dreams communicate through symbols, the giraffe in this dream represents something that has qualities like a giraffe: tall, high reach, perhaps unusual and a bit odd? The dream could reflect the dreamer's desire to "reach high," that is, to Excel in an area that will require a lot of effort. Perhaps the dreamer needs to try harder to achieve a goal that seems to be "out of reach."
