Old Monkey in dreams

Clever mischief — the part of you that is playful, distractible, and underestimated.

In its old form, the symbol carries long history — accumulated knowledge, accumulated weight, and the kind of presence that does not need to assert itself. Old versions of symbols in dreams are often offering you a sentence you needed to hear from someone who has seen many cycles.

A monkey in a dream is the dictionary's image of clever mischief. The monkey is fast, social, sometimes destructive, often funny. The dream tends to appear when there is a piece of you that has been refusing to be serious and is producing results anyway.

Where you often see it. A monkey on a branch watching. A monkey playing with a small object. The dream uses the monkey for clever mischief — the part of you that is playful, distractible, and underestimated.

What it is not. A monkey is not always trickster. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's playful, distractible intelligence.

Related in the dictionary. Read monkey with fox (a more strategic intelligence), and any scene of mischievous-but-clever motion.
