I dreamt that we had a pet monkey in our family. The monkey was very sweet and could speak a few words. One day someone I perceive to be a relative was cruel to the point of abusing the monkey. I was unable to do anything to stop the beatings. I heard the monkey crying "uncle" calling for my male relative. The cruelty continued until I jolted awake. The monkey did nothing to get locked in a room and beaten.

Last night, I dreamt I was slowly driving down a long beach road. I couldnโ€™t see the ocean as there were large sand dunes on both sides of the road. On top of the sand dunes were monkeys just standing or sitting and watching me as I drove by. They looked angry. One was sitting on top of a Buddhist looking building but it was just the skeleton of the building. One was lifting weights (barbells). No other humans were around. Then, I was walking down the same road and the monkeys began to attack me. October 39, 2023. 6:00am EST

A monkey was biting my foot/rt leg as I drove along a sandy beach. I stopped the car, going into a house, I feed the monkey carrots and saw a friend who was my old co'- worker. We talked and laughed at the monkey. The bites did not hurt, just annoying. Lol
