The base reading of Monkey
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.
