Gorilla Meaning and Messages

In general, Gorilla symbolism is a signal for us to raise our heads and recognize the nobility within us. This type of Gorilla meaning does not represent prideful or boastful behavior. Instead, this spirit animal exudes a quiet honor and a calm dignity that makes a much more profound statement than any boast. We humans (particularly this day and age) would do well to mimic such regal behavior.

Similar to the Cougar, Gorilla symbolism also gives us a message of leadership, however not of the aggressive kind. Instead, this ape manages other members within the troop with temperance, understanding, compassion, and balance. Very seldom is aggression or violence required to get the point across. The Gorilla meaning also reminds us that tyrannical leaders will never win respect. In other words, the message is that decency, honesty, and quiet charisma gain loyal followers.

Alternatively, Gorilla symbolism could be a confirmation that your endeavors are stable and steady. Therefore you must stay grounded and handle your responsibilities. This animal totem will help you find your inner strength.

Gorilla Dream Interpretation

When you have a Gorilla dream, it suggests that you may be too “over the top” in your behavior. In other words, you are overcompensating for your rigidity and awkwardness. Alternatively, the Gorilla dream symbolizes your primitive impulses, wild nature, and repressed sexual energy. If this animal is hiding, it indicates that you are looking for a sense of security or protection.

Similar to the Antelope, it could also mean that this animal represents the need for you to take action. When we have a Gorilla dream, it is a signal that we’ve been resting on our laurels. In other words, it’s time to start earning the things we want instead of waiting for rewards to fall into our laps.
