So I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I got a tattoo. It was a thin band that went right over my eyebrows, dipped a bit in the middle, and had a small pentacle hanging in middle. Like a tattooed version of a priestesses headband. It was gorgeous and I loved it, but I worried about how obvious it was. I realized I could cover it up with makeup, or get my bangs back (they've grown out since that picture of me), but I never did it in the dream. And I talked to most of the people I know. Amanda and Eric were fine, my mom thought it was ridiculous, and my dad freaked out. Eric's dad did the whole, "I'm uncomfortable but I'm not going to say that outright" thing that he does. I woke up before meeting with my grandparents.
So I wonder if this dream is about how I treat my religion. I don't hide it per se, but I'm not usually too open about it. The reactions of the people in my dream to my tattoo were very similar to the reactions they had in real life to my religion. So what does this all mean? Should I be more outspoken? Should I talk with my loved ones (and Eric's parents apparently) about it more? I don't know. It does, however, really make me want to get a tattoo. Just not on my face.
