House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
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.
