Dream interpretation

Seeing a monkey in a dream is usually a symbol of a restless mind that runs in many directions at once. A monkey first brings mischief to mind, but in a dream its meaning goes deeper. Just as a monkey leaps from branch to branch, your mind may be jumping from one thought to the next, and the dream monkey shows you that state.

  • A cheerful monkey swinging through the trees

    You need to bring a lighter, more playful mood back into your life. Perhaps you have been far too serious for a long time.

  • A monkey attacking or trying to bite you

    Someone around you is being deceitful, or there is a side of you that has become hard to trust.

  • A monkey stealing something and running off

    This is a fear of losing something you cannot easily control, whether that is time or an opportunity.

  • A large troop of monkeys

    You are under pressure from many conflicting opinions around you.

  • Taming a monkey

    You have the power to bring your restless mind under discipline.
