Baby
Babies in dreams often represent new beginnings, innocence, and vulnerable aspects of yourself that need nurturing. They can also symbolize new projects, ideas, or relationships in their infancy. Caring for a baby may reflect your nurturing nature, while neglecting a dream baby may indicate you're neglecting something important in waking life.
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.
