An interpretation of gorilla dreams

An interpretation of gorilla dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Gorillas are associated with wild and territorial behavior. They can symbolize the “animal mind,” unfettered sexuality, or something wild, physically powerful, and unpredictable. For example, a young man dreams that a gorilla is in his bedroom and he tells his roommate to lock it up. Then, fearing the gorilla, he acts sweetly toward it, and it acts sweetly toward him. It symbolizes an ongoing situation with an unpredictable and sometimes unhinged roommate. The roommate frequently enters the dreamer’s bedroom without permission. The dream makes the connection with the roommate when the dreamer tells him to lock up the gorilla, then acts nicely toward it. It symbolizes the dreamer’s strategy to act nicely toward the roommate and hide his true feelings about the intrusions—the guy is too unpredictable and immensely strong. Gorillas and apes are associated with human evolution and can be used as symbolism to show something in the early stages of development. These creatures can be shorthand to mean “primitive.” If someone acts like an ape or gorilla it means the person displays primitive behaviors or impulses. For example, a young man dreams that his uncle dresses up in a gorilla costume and jumps around on the roof of his grandma’s house. It symbolizes the uncle’s behavior during holidays at grandma’s house when he gets drunk and acts like a gorilla.
