Baboon Dreams

Have baboons appeared out of nowhere in your dream? This isn’t a fluke, because baboon dreams contain highly symbolic meaning.

The fact that ancient Egyptians connected the Baboon with a deity from the underworld (Babi) known to devour souls, suggests these dreams need to be taken seriously.

Since Baboons are found in a specific areas of the world (Africa and Arabia), they represent something wild or exotic to the dreamer. Either the baboon in your dream belongs to the wild unconscious aspect of you or someone in your life that mimics its crazy behaviors.

Unlike other primates like chimpanzees, baboons appear differently and carry more mysterious meaning.

How the baboon likes to show up in dreams?

• they are known to show up inside our houses
• baboons tend to appear much larger, almost like giants.
• known to attack and chase the dreamer
• appears to be either angry or dead
• color white, black or seeing a baby

Angry or Dead Baboon in Dream

To dream of an angry baboon seems to imply that you may have stepped on the foot on someone who carries its aggressive, dominating tendencies. Depending on the location it helps narrow down who or what the baboon means in your dream. 

Alternatively, the angry baboon could in fact be related to your own aggressive behaviors that are not fully recognized.

A dead baboon could be a good symbol in our dreams that you were able to defeat negative aggressive traits, unconscious negative behaviors or people that surround you.

Was the Baboon in Your House?

The moment the baboon is inside your house in your dream the problem belongs in your internal world. Why? Because houses in dreams act as a blueprint or inner architecture that allows you to find an issue or find success.

Depends what the baboon is doing will alter the dream, however these wild troublesome monkeys should not be living inside your head.

Baboon Dream Symbolism

Any type of unrecognized wild or unconscious behavior you possess will metaphorically appear coded in your dream. The baboons place of habitat (open savannas and woodlands) connects to your primitive nature, wild instincts, or aggressive behaviors. This creature may also symbolize the following:

• family bonding
• exploring
• playful traits
• deceitful/manipulated
• trickster
• greediness
• loud/boastful actions
• aggressive tendencies
• egotistical impulses

Baboon and Your Unknown Side

The baboon in your dream wants you to know how well you are aware of these negative traits within by behaving in a particular manner. Often times when the baboon attacks the dreamer it represents their own inability to correct these behavior, but it can also mean a dominant aggressive male that they avoid in their lives.

Being chased by the baboon tells you that you are avoiding aggressive tendencies or belonging to someone else.

This might be why the bamboos appear large like giants in our dream because it shows that this masculine energy has power over you. Did you know that the dominant male usually runs the troop? A baboon attack shows that you are lacking strength and are vulnerable, especially compared to those close to you.

Spiritual Meaning of Baboons

Spiritually speaking baboons are known to represent community, protection, courage, strength and family.

Since baboons are naturally highly social creatures, they carry an added meaning of the dreamer’s own place in their social circles. The baboon reflects hidden unconscious traits of the dreamer that point to being curious, mischievous and playful around others.

Baboons in the Bible?

Nowhere in the Bible is the baboon supposed to be indigenous to Israel. Apes and baboons are mentioned with gold, silver, ivory, and peacocks among the precious things imported by Solomon from Tharsis (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21).

This could symbolize a foreign concept that you could bring into your own faith to enrich it.
