The monkey signifies a man who has a fault and it is one of thosewho were transformed. And it was said that it signifies a man whocommits major sins.

If a person dreams that a monkey entered the bed of a known man,that indicates that a Jew or heretic is committing immorality with hiswife.

If he dreams that he fought a monkey, he will fallsick, and if the monkey defeated him, he will not recover. If he dreamsthat the monkey bit him, there will be a dispute between him and others. Nowadays if they see someone making losses in trade or going throughhardship, they say that he is Rajul Maqrood (lit. A man harmed by a monkey), meaning he is unlucky. The one who dreams that he is bittenby a monkey or sees the monkey entering upon him will incur losses ifhe is a trader, or he will lose his livelihood if he is a trader, or he willlose his livelihood if he has a craft, and he will be dismissed if he holds a post.
