Monkey

Ant
Ants represent tireless work, patience, and the power of collective effort. A single ant may seem insignificant, but together ants build impressive structures. Dreaming of ants may suggest you need more patience and persistence, or that small consistent efforts will lead to great results. Ants crawling on your body may indicate minor irritations accumulating.
Monkey
Monkeys represent the playful, mischievous, and clever aspects of the mind. In Buddhism, the 'monkey mind' refers to the restless, unsettled nature of thought. Monkeys in dreams may indicate a need for more play and humor, or conversely, that you're being too frivolous. In Hindu tradition, the monkey god Hanuman represents devotion and strength. Monkeys can also represent mimicry or copying others.
