An interpretation of tattoo dreams

An interpretation of tattoo dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. People sometimes get tattoos as permanent reminders of another person, so getting a tattoo in a dream can mean that you want to remember someone—or conversely, don’t want to forget the person. Especially a loved one who passed away. Tattoos are reminders of events and times of life. Tattoos are part of you, and as symbolism they can mean that whatever is tattooed on your body is part of you. For example, a man’s dream about getting a tattoo of a wolf ties in with recognizing wolf-like qualities in himself: good instincts, protective, sociable. The tattoo symbolizes his connections with those qualities of himself. A tattoo is a record of who you are and where you’ve been. Getting a tattoo with another person can be a bonding ritual. It shows the personal bond between you. On the other hand, if the tattoo is forced on you, it might symbolize a feeling that you’re forced to commit to something or bond with someone or something. A temporary tattoo can symbolize a temporary situation or relationship. See also: Artists, Body parts, Seeing a dead relative, Scars
