Meaning of dreams about Tattoo you have in real life

A dream centering around you, your body or thoughts and feelings that are important to you reveals the inner workings of your unconscious mind. This focus on the self could have positive or negative connotations depending on your emotions in the vision and the other symbols you perceived. Dreaming about yourself also denotes a certain amount of retrospection about past events or contemplation of future ones. The body itself represents the sum of your experiences. Seeing your own body by either looking down at yourself or observing yourself in a reflective surface alludes to how the different people and events that have made up your life story may have left their mark. As such, the condition of your body gives clues as to the state of your unconscious mind. Body modifications, such as body art or altering its appearance in some way, take on special meaning in dreams whether you were tuned into a pre-existing modification or saw something you do not have in reality. Whether or not you have such a modification in wake life is relevant, however, to the final interpretation of this dream symbol. Tattoos represent both permanence and a desire for change in wake life. Depending on whether you have tattoos in reality or not, this symbol can point toward different aspects of your emotional state, individuality or desire to stand out or conform to general rules of society. In particular, zoning in on a tattoo you already have had inked on your body in wake life may reveal that you feel regret for something you have done in reality. Just like a tattoo is generally considered permanent, so do you subconsciously believe that you would never be able to make up for what has been done. However, this does not mean you should give up.
