Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, a gibbon symbolizes an individual possessing limited intelligence, poor judgment, or shallow understanding who, through persistent folly and misguided choices, drives himself toward a severe nervous breakdown, profound mental exhaustion, or emotional collapse that disrupts his well-being and stability. Such a person continually upsets and complicates his own life by indulging in sinful actions, immoral behaviors, and heedless pursuits that invite divine displeasure and worldly consequences, ultimately becoming despised, rejected, or held in contempt by those around him due to his reprehensible conduct and lack of wisdom. A gibbon also embodies a sycophantic and flattering individual who seeks favor through insincere toadying and subservience yet harbors inner pride, arrogance, or self-importance that contradicts his outward humility.
