Dreaming of monkeys: What It Means

Tigers in dreams stand for power, courage and raw instinct. They can signal a strong supporter or big opportunity, or a pressure that feels hard to handle, depending on how the tiger behaved.

Foxes stand for charm, cunning and temptation. The dream can hint at an appealing new connection, but also a warning about someone who isn't being straight with you.

Dogs usually stand for loyalty, friendship and companionship, so these dreams tend to feel warm. Whether the dream is positive depends on how the dog looked and acted.

Snake dreams are among the most common and most talked-about dreams. They can point to transformation, healing and hidden energy, but also to fears you haven't faced or someone you don't fully trust; the details of the dream decide which.

Pig dreams are mixed in Western symbolism, where pigs can stand for appetite, indulgence and comfort. In East Asian folklore, though, a pig is a famously lucky sign of prosperity, and that more upbeat reading is the one this dream usually gets.

A big, thick snake such as a python or boa is a powerful symbol of strength, transformation and something large moving through your life. In East Asian folklore the large snake is a protector of the home and a sign of great fortune, while Western readings lean toward deep change or a big fear.
