Monkey

Ape, Chimpanzee, Gorilla

Monkeys are playful, clever and full of mischief, and in dreams they bring that same restless energy. Sometimes they mirror your own urge to have fun and stop taking life so seriously. Earlier dream readers were suspicious of them and linked them with flatterers who want something in return. So if a monkey charmed you or stole something, think about who has been extra sweet lately. A big, calm gorilla is different: strength, protection and a family that sticks together.
