To understand why a tribe is dreaming, the dream book suggests using intuition: a dream may contain symbols that are understandable only to one dreamer. Which is quite natural - we are talking about the most intimate, the true essence of the sleeper, the call of nature and basic instincts.
Miller's interpretation
If you dreamed of someone else’s wild tribe, Miller’s dream book believes that you have an enemy who is dangerous in his unpredictability. The interpreter explains somewhat differently why one dreams of being one of them. An unusual plot in a dream warns that manifestations of ignorance and obstinacy can interfere with the implementation of the plan.
Modern interpretations
The Big Dream Book tells in more detail what the aborigines mean. You have to see such an exotic image during periods of increased danger, when primitive instincts are activated.
It is quite possible that an unusual situation or a new acquaintance will require atypical behavior from the sleeping person. Sometimes the symbol represents qualities that the dreamer would like to acquire: fearlessness, emancipation, leadership.
If you happen to see yourself surrounded by a tribe, far from civilization, you will have to publicly defend your interests in the conditions of modern society, playing by alien rules.
It’s interesting to know what it means to dream of being caught by a tribe of cannibals. Looks like secrets aren't that bad anymore. A stupid, evil person can use the information obtained at his own discretion.
Ancient predictions
In ancient dream books you can find many explanations of why you dreamed of meeting colorful characters.
- The people's oracle recommends avoiding suspicious acquaintances;
- In the Lunar Dream Book, a tribe means danger posed by inappropriate persons;
- The Old Slavonic dream book reminds that drunken guests can do a lot of trouble;
- If you dreamed of a wild tribe in a house, Velesov’s dream book promises the discovery of a treasure;
- Grandmother’s dream interpreter advises not to place too much faith in the achievements of civilization;
- If you dreamed of a friendly tribe, a far from reputable company will provide a valuable service.
At the same time, almost every dream book says that seeing wild people even in a dream is unsafe. Meeting them often means an invisible threat to the sleeping person.
Back to the Jungle
Freud's dream book offers a very interesting explanation of why a man dreams of a tribe in which he is accepted as one of their own. Usually in a dream you see yourself as a leader, hunt skillfully, steal women from strangers and give mercy to relatives. Such night dreams visit those who are dissatisfied with their real way of life.
If you dreamed of familiar faces among members of the tribe, these people will pleasantly surprise you. Seeing yourself as one of them happens at the moment of readiness for change.
If on the eve of a date you dreamed of aggressive savages, a passionate night of love awaits. A warm welcome in a dream promises alienation and coldness. When a dreamer is invited to take part in a hunt or a ritual dance, but refuses for fear of becoming a laughing stock, in reality he is prevented from achieving success by uncertainty and a lack of will to power.
Tattooing is almost as ancient a phenomenon as the existence of humanity. Tattoos have even been found on the bodies of mummies found during pyramid excavations! Today, a tattoo is perceived either as an exotic phenomenon, usually characteristic of certain tribes (for example, Maori or Chin), or as a symbol of belonging to a certain subculture. Therefore, dreams in which images appear on the body are strange and unusual for many people, and they want to know the answer to the question of why tattoos are dreamed of.
Dream interpretation of the Mayan tribe
One of the most unusual dream books - the dream book of the Mayan tribe - says: if you dream of a tattoo, it means that the gods have taken you under their protection. To strengthen this patronage, you should get a real tattoo on your left buttock. If in a dream you remove a drawing from your body, the gods are angry with you. It is difficult to appease higher powers, but it is possible. To do this, you need to consistently burn the following items on the flame of a black candle for one week:
- 2 coffee beans;
- 2 small pieces of apple;
- 1 slice of orange;
- 1 chicken heart;
- 5 drops of your own blood;
- nails cut from the right hand;
- nails from the left hand.
Eastern women's dream book
The Eastern Dream Book for women also talks about why a tattoo is dreamed of. Most likely, this dream indicates that you will soon have to leave your home - temporarily or forever. If you dream of a tattoo applied to the body of another person, then the dreamer will be jealous, and completely unreasonably. Why dream of getting a tattoo yourself? It is likely that frivolous behavior will cause complications in relationships with loved ones.
Freud's Dream Book
One of the most non-standard dream books - Freud's dream book - also contains the answer to the question of why you dream about tattoos on your body. If the dreamer’s entire body is covered with images, most likely he attaches great importance to professional activities. Moreover, all actions are performed due to suppressed sexual desires. The dream book recommends taking a break from work. If a complete stranger appears in a dream, covered with a tattoo, most likely the dreamer is attracted to someone he knows. A person who dreams of being given a delightful artistic tattoo needs romance and tenderness.
Gypsy dream book
This collection interprets dreams about tattoos extremely succinctly: the person who dreams of tattoos is talkative and will never be able to keep secrets. So it’s worth drawing conclusions.
Esoteric dream book
Why do you dream of tattoos on someone's body? The esoteric dream book says - you are unhappy with your appearance. If you dream about someone getting a tattoo, it means that in real life you can change yourself. If in a dream your body is full of bright patterns, then you are marked with unique talents that definitely need to be developed.
Miller's Dream Book
The dreamer's body, covered with tattoos, according to Miller's dream book, indicates troubles due to which he will have to leave his home. A tattoo applied to the body of other people (both acquaintances and complete strangers) speaks of unreasonable jealousy. Why dream of giving another person a tattoo? Your eccentricities will lead to the fact that close people will soon turn away from you.
Dream Interpretation of Artemidor
If you dream of a tattoo on your body, most likely you are in love and want to tell others about it. In addition, a tattoo is one of the most understandable signs of human identification, and therefore, to the question “why do you dream about tattoos?” you can answer this way: you either want to be identified, or you want to identify someone else. At the same time, the compilers of the dream book note that if in real life you have a drawing, most likely there is no subtext in it.
Leiman's Dream Book
A body painting seen in a dream can be interpreted as a symbol of eccentricities or internal protest.
Dream book of the 21st century
The compilers of this dream interpreter claim that a tattoo is dreamed of for two reasons:
- Most likely, the dreamer will face serious troubles that will force him to leave his home.
- Your oddities may cause those close to you to turn away from the person who dreamed of getting a tattoo.
Dream book for girls
To answer the question of why you dream about a tattoo on your back, you can look into a girl’s book that interprets dreams. Most likely, the book’s compilers say, problems may force you to leave home. And they add that you should go to Africa with a tattoo, because that’s where it will be just right.
Modern dream book
Drawings on the body seen in a dream can indicate troubles or jealousy. It is also worth saying that a tattoo is a symbol of your whims, which can alienate others from you.
Family dream book
According to this dream interpreter, such a dream may indicate that something is threatening your reputation. However, the situation can be corrected! When you wake up, you need to close your eyes, imagine that the tattoo is drawn with simple ink, and simply wash it off.
Dream Interpretation Sonan
If a girl dreams that her whole body is “painted,” most likely, in real life she lacks attention from men and intimate relationships. If a person in a relationship sees tattoos in a dream, it means that a frank conversation is urgently needed, because drawings on the body may indicate a deterioration in this very relationship. A stranger, decorated with unusual symbols, is a symbol of the fact that the dreamer is surrounded by a person in love with him. Dream Interpretation Sonan says - this person is afraid to reveal his feelings, so you have to take the first step.
The fact that you urgently need to sort out your feelings is evidenced by a dream in which you put a tattoo on the body of another person. This dream also says that you do not notice obvious things and turn a blind eye to many actions. If in your dream you meet a person who has tattoos, an event will soon occur in your family that will provoke a family conflict, leading to separation or even divorce.
Tattoos on your body usually have two meanings: the person is probably the life of the party and a leader, or his behavior will lead to a loss of respect. A color drawing predicts minor purchases, finds or a short trip. If in a dream you look at tattoos, in real life you yourself are the object of observation - you are suspected of treason, they are watching you.
General dream book
A dream in which your body is decorated with drawings may indicate impending troubles. Because of them, you will have to leave your place of residence. If the tattoo is applied to the body of another person, then jealousy on the part of your partner awaits you.
Ivanov’s newest dream book
This dream interpreter says: seeing a tattoo means only one thing - you will be recognized by a specific action you have performed (the action can be either bad or good).
Seasonal dream book
Dream interpretation experts note that in the spring, tattoos symbolize a stupid prank. The summer dream book says that any body drawing foreshadows court cases or even imprisonment. And according to the autumn decoder, big troubles await the dreamer.
Attention to detail
One should consider not only the fact of having a tattoo in a dream. It is very important to pay attention to details. Thus, a tattoo made on the face and depicting a predator says that the dreamer is a stern and sarcastic person. It is for this reason that others try to avoid him. Any other image on your face is a sign that you need a change. A tattoo on another person's face shows the hypocrisy of those around you. A pattern on the neck seen in a dream is a harbinger of a global conflict.
Why do you dream about a tattoo on your hand? This night vision calls you to decisive action - everything is in your hands! You can accomplish what you have been planning for a long time: for example, go on an exciting trip, meet influential people, or even organize your own business.
Why do you dream about a tattoo on your leg? Dream experts say this is a symbol of difficulties and obstacles. If such a sign is present in your dream, it is likely that you cannot move forward. By the way, it is very important to remember what exactly was depicted on the leg: often this is the same load!
The image on your back may indicate that those around you are unhappy with you. The reason lies in your neglect of them and their requests. But if you see the tattoo on your back from the outside, changes are coming in your life. The symbols on the stomach characterize the dreamer as a desperate person, constantly looking for adventure. And they warn you that you can stumble at any moment, and therefore you should be careful.
There is a legend that the Mayans were taught the interpretation of dreams by the gods many thousands of years ago. Historical chronicles say that with the help of dreams, priests predicted the future and influenced the destinies of people and states.
The art of dream interpretation was considered a noble activity by the Mayans, and represented a whole science, a kind of ritual. Priests-interpreters enjoyed great honor and respect.
When interpreting dreams, the Mayans took into account every little detail. Everything mattered, all the details of the dream, the day, the night on which the dream occurred, the person who had the dream, his gender, age.
The Mayans believed that dreams were under the control of the god Tezcatlipoca, who saw people's dreams through his mirror. The god Tezcatlipoca was also responsible for magic and witchcraft, and was considered a bloodthirsty god, so the Mayans did not trust him too much, and often tried to appease him with sacrifices. In order to ward off a bad dream, Mayan priestesses burned sacrificial bird feathers.
As in many other cultures, the Maya believed that through dreams the gods communicated with people, warning and cautioning about various events.
Not all dreams predicted the future. The Mayans understood that dreams often point to the present or past, to events that have gone unnoticed in life and that need to be paid attention to.
According to the Mayans, all people have an energy field, and dreams are an indicator of the state of our energy field.
A feature of the interpretation of Mayan dreams was that the meaning of a person’s dream was considered as a message for the entire tribe, based on this, recommendations were given to the person on how to act in a given situation.
Later, with the accumulation of experience, the Mayans began to predict the destinies of people and, traveling through dreams, find answers to questions of interest.
When interpreting dreams, the Mayans identified a key image from the entire dream.
The Mayan priests attached great importance to colors, shapes, and quantitative indicators of dreams. Different colors had their own meanings. White color symbolized purity, blue foreshadowed new life, orange symbolized change, and so on.
Important details of sleep are its quantitative characteristics. When interpreting a dream, it was necessary to calculate the amount of what was most important in the dream. If you see a person in a dream, you need to count how many times you saw him, how many times you spoke to him, and so on. Based on this, we got a number that you should pay attention to in real life.
Numbers also had their own meanings. 1 – meant intuition, and the need to listen to advice; 3 – good luck, fulfillment of what you want; 7 – fatigue, need for rest, and so on.
It was believed that on the first day of the month there were only good dreams, and on the last days - bad dreams.
Pregnant women and children, according to the Mayans, see only good dreams.
Being the owners of secret knowledge, the ability to interpret dreams and predict the future, the Mayans, however, forbade the use of this knowledge to harm people. The Mayans considered sleep a gift from the gods, but it was believed that if this gift was used to harm, it could cause the wrath of the gods.

Dream Interpretation of the Ancient Persians
The ancient Persians believed that seeing a cat in a dream meant a warning about upcoming troubles or dangers. If an animal attacks the dreamer, then he will face a turbulent period of time in reality.
In general, what cats dream about, according to the Assyrian dream book, is the intervention of mysticism in your life. If in a dream you caught a cat, and it sits comfortably on your lap and purrs, in reality you will meet a strong patron, and all your desires will be fulfilled. But if you were unable to catch the animal, then you are in for a time of missed opportunities.
Dream book of the Mayan Indian tribe
The Mayan Indians believed that seeing a cat in a dream could mean both positive and negative events. A good omen is a dream about a cat that lies down next to a sleeping person and begins to purr. But the animal must be dark in color. But if you dreamed of a light-colored cat, then in the near future a person will be faced with a choice between success and maintaining honor.
Why do you dream about horse-drawn horses according to Nina Grishina’s dream book for nobles:
As a rule, collections of dream interpretations are formed as a result of the interpretation experience of a particular scientist or group of scientists. As a result, the dream book acquires its own unique features, acquires its own language and a unique approach. What about such a publication compiled by civilization? Here the situation is somewhat different. The fact is that a book of this kind is extremely difficult to evaluate and compare with modern knowledge and methodology of dream interpretation. As a result, it is very difficult to determine how relevant this or that interpretation is today, because the very method of identifying the essence of the plots and images of dreams remains a mystery.
What is the value of the Mayan Dream Book?
Dream Interpretation Maya is an example of just such a publication, mysterious, presenting an abundance of incredibly specific interpretations at first glance. This collection of interpretations is recognized as one of the most valuable historical cultural monuments, because the Mayan civilization is known as an incredibly progressive and developed community for its historical stage. Of course, it is difficult to apply the interpretations of this Mayan dream book, drawing content from the original source itself. The content of the translation compiled by our contemporaries is difficult to apply correctly, since translation presupposes a specific subjective understanding of the interpretations by the translator, which can lead to significant distortions of the meaning of what was read.
The Mayan Dream Book is replete with innovative, for its time, interpretations. Moreover, these interpretations do not always have a personal character for the dreamer. Everyone knows that the Mayan civilization indicated important events in its calendar up to the present day, which may lead to assumptions that such predictions could be based precisely on the experience of interpreting dreams seen by priests and honorable people of the tribes.
The language itself, in which the content of the Mayan Dream Book is presented, is quite rich in unique phrases and phrases. Therefore, it is questioned whether his interpretations could have been literally translated correctly without loss of meaning. Preserving the unique identity of this publication was considered a difficult task at the translation stage.
However, no difficulties or doubts served as a reason for the Mayan dream book not to be appreciated by experts in esoteric science. This collection of dream interpretations is the primary source of, perhaps, the majority of modern analogues, which, in fact, relieves the reader of the need to resort to the content of the primary source.
As a result, the Mayan Dream Book can, without a doubt, be called one of the main esoteric works, because it was he who laid the foundation for the trend in the interpretation of dreams that dominate at this stage and will remain in favor for a long time.
As for the common man, for him this collection of interpretations is unlikely to be so useful in the original, but this does not mean that it is not worth reading. On the contrary, familiarizing yourself with the Mayan Dream Book will help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere and meaningfulness of the interpretation of dreams without all sorts of modern prejudices.
It should be noted that not all of the content "Dream Interpretation Maya" found embodiment in modern publications of a similar plan. This is due to the fact that some of the rituals and traditions characteristic of the period of history when this collection was compiled, at this stage completely disappeared from human life, and therefore these interpretations were deprived of attention in the process of becoming familiar with the original source. In any case, the reader always has the choice to use or not the centuries-old experience of this developed and unique civilization.
