Re: Gorillas

Interesting. I found this for you.

Gorilla
Very often, especially in women’s dreams, the gorilla represents the woman’s father. At least, the aspect of him she may not be able to come to terms with. In particular sexua| urges that she has not really accepted and integrated.

But the gorilla can also be used for powerful instinctual forces that we either struggle with or learn from. As such it confronts us with the feelings and drives that lie underneath our conscious personality and may sometimes erupt or confront us in a variety of ways.

Useful questions are:

What is my relationship with the gorilla in the dream, and what does this suggest about the way I am relating to my own primal urges and responses?

If I am afraid of the gorilla, what exactly am I trying to get away from in life?

Is the gorilla communicating anything to me – if so what?

If I imagine myself as the gorilla, what do I feel and know? Tweet
