Singing

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.
Singing
Singing in dreams represents the deepest form of self-expression — putting your inner feelings into vibration. Singing beautifully suggests confident self-expression. Singing off-key or being unable to sing indicates difficulty expressing yourself. Hearing beautiful singing may represent your soul's voice or a message from the unconscious. Singing with others represents communal harmony and shared expression.
