Night is related to the passive principle, the feminine and the unconscious. Hesiod gave it the name of ‘mother of the gods’, for the Greeks believed
that night and darkness preceded the creation of all things (8). Hence, night—like
water—is expressive of fertility, potentiality and germination (17); for it is an
anticipatory state in that, though not yet day, it is the promise of daylight. Within
the tradition of symbology it has the same significance as death and the colour
black.

To have a dream that takes place at night, represents some major setbacks and obstacles in achieving your goals. You are being faced with an issue that is not so clear cut. Perhaps, you should put the issues aside so you can clear your head and come back to it later. Alternatively, night may be synonymous with death, rebirth, reflection, and new beginnings.

Tattooing and ornamentation may be regarded as falling within one
generic symbolic group, for both are expressions of cosmic activity. But since
tattoos are applied to the body, other important meanings accrue to it—sacrifice,
the mystical and magical. E. Gobert, in Notes sur les tatouages des indigènes
Tunisiens, suggests that tattooing is connected with the Arabic proverb ‘blood
has flowed, the danger has passed’. Since sacrifice has the power to store up
latent forces which later may be made use of, each sacrifice tends to invert a given
situation. A mystic purpose lies at the root of the mark or sign of identification:
he who brands himself seeks to display his allegiance to that which is signified by
the mark. (Lovers’ marks carved on tree-trunks, and initials and heart-shapes
pricked out on the skin, are clear illustrations of this.) In the last analysis, the
attitude of allegiance is reversed: the sign is expected to ‘reciprocate’ this display of sacrifice and subservience on the part of the individual who has so marked
himself; and this is the magic property of the tattoo as a defensive talisman. Apart
from these three meanings of the tattoo, ethnologists have noted two others: it
may serve as a sign designating sex, tribe and social status (v. Robert Lowie’s
Cultural Anthropology), in which case it is simply a profane version of the mystic
symbolism; and, also, as a personal adornment. This latter purpose seems to us
over-simplified, but we cannot go into the matter here. In particular, tattooing is
a ‘rite of entry’ or of initiation which alludes to the turning-points in the span of
a man’s life and in the development of his personality. Cola has pointed out that
some of the most ancient monuments of pre-history, in particular those of Egypt,
suggest that tattooing was practised in ancient times, for the priestess of the
goddess Hathor displayed three lines on her lower belly. He also enumerates the
principal techniques of tattooing: incision, stitching, wounding by cutting or
burning, and pseudo-tattoos or paintings on the face or body (in which case the
motives are the same although the effect is transitory). Among primitive races,
the principal forms of tattoos are as follows: stripes, dots, combinations of both,
or numbers expressed through either, chains, knots and rosettes, crosses, stars,
triangles, rhombs, circles, combinations of any two or more of these, and also,
highly stylized anthropomorphic figures either complete or fragmentary (just the
limbs), etc. Cola also notes that tattoos have been used in imitative magic. For
instance: the tattooed figure of a scorpion is credited with the power of warding
off the actual scorpion’s sting; and the image of a bull is a guarantee of numerous
progeny (12).
