    My two daughters arrive and when we get back to work there are others doing my job.

  14. in my dream.. i was 3 or 4 years old, and i was running away with a monkey, this monkey feels like my best friend, i look happy play with this monkey. and then my face become like a monkey, my mouth and my nose. i found it very funny, but i’m curious if it has a meaning..

  15. i had a dream that a gang of monkeys where chasing me trying to attack me..they would try to jump on me and i would fling them off. they where very small with long tails and different colored faces almost as if it were painted.

  16. Three times recently, I’ve had a monkey jump into my dream. The first, we were passengers in the back seat of a car, and looked serious, suddenly, this pretty monkey, dressed in sweater of pastel colors jumped into my lap. I was happy to have him for a hug. He didn’t stay long and jumped out, but he was comforting. The next two times, an undressed monkey, darker color, swing out of the tree into my dream “picture!” I’m beginning to think the first one relates to a friend who thinks she is following the Faith, but has gotten into anti-Judeo-Christian beliefs, and is mixed up. She does entertain me, but I find her lacking in depth.

  17. I had a dream i had this little black monkey in my hand and i was eating it
    therefore i was worshiping thoth i enjoyed this monkey i ate it RAw and even saved it for later

  18. I dreamed of dancing monkeys dressed in different colored bright little suits. The also would appear to stop dancing and all give a smirky laugh. There were lots of different locations – some I know and some I don’t, but the monkeys dancing were in all of the places.

  19. Dreamed that monkeys were trying to get into my house thru the bathroom window. I pushed them back thru the screen and they fell to the ground from a second story. Later I looked and saw monkeys around people homes.

  20. i have been having the same dream for sometime now and it is a little bit frustrating. An evil spirit or monkey is turning everyone around me into one, once they are turned into monkey’s they want to eat the humans that are left or turned them into a monkey. In all of my monkey’s dream they are not able to catch me and they are always incomplete in the end. It is like the spirit or the evil monkey and i are forever in a run and catch game. I am always running from one destination to another to not get caught to turned into a monkey. Today i dreamt everyone in my household turned into monkey’s and had disappered except my brother, the middle child. i woke up to him sitting in the couch, he too was a monkey in a human like form. Like always i ran, it seems like an everlasting run to my neighbor house which was next door. At first the force was so strong , it wouldnt even allow my neighbors to close their door at , but eventually we were able to . It really followed me to my neighbor’s house , which wasn’t surprising and it was so kind of them, my neighbors, to help. Anywho, i got into their apartment, they had curtains for me to hold which was to keep the evil spirt that was trying to change everyone into a monkey out. There was a nail that was attach to the curtains that i had to hold upright along with the curtains itself, if that made any sense. They went to fetch their book spells, i was taken aback for a minute but whatever was needed to stop being chase was fine with me. My hands got tired and i had asked one of their sisters to hold it and the next hour i too will hold i needed a break. She didnt hold up the curtains how she was suppose to, so she is fighting with it or the evil spirt. Somehow all the electronics i remeber the TV flickered and went out. I knew now that spirit was in their house. I looked in the window to see a female monkey rambling about something. i could of sworn, in my dream, i was trying to go outside through the window when i saw that monkey. Maybe running again or maybe going to the monkey and asking her to help us, since it didn’t look as evil as the rest. But off course i woke up, didnt finish my dream. Now i am confused and worried as ever. Is someone after me? is someone wishing bad upon me?
