Personal symbolism
Ink leaves a mark, records words, and can be difficult to remove. In these dreams it appears in several forms, each tied to a different concern: envy, slander, jealousy, questionable work, or unsuccessful interests. Notice where the ink is and what you are doing with it. Stains on clothing suggest something made visible to others; ink on your fingers places responsibility close to your own actions. The red color intensifies the trouble, while making ink raises questions about the company and work you choose.
Questions to reflect on
- Where did the ink appear, and what color was it?
- Were you marked by ink, handling it, or making it?
- Where might jealousy or other people’s words be affecting you?
