To dream about biting can signify that you feel you have been harmed, especially by a “biting” comment or something similar. The mouth is used to bite and to speak, so the connection between biting and speaking is easy to make. Being bitten in a dream can symbolize suffering from aggressive treatment. Picture a pack of wolves snarling and snapping at each other over their kill. It’s an image that, in an exaggerated way, can describe situations in life where people aggressively posture and snap at each other. “Snap” can mean loss of temper. Being bitten expresses how you feel, how you are affected. Biting can symbolize anger, particularly if you’re bitten by an animal known for its temper, such as a goat or raccoon. See: Anger Animal bites can symbolize trouble or problems caused by your instinctual behaviors, drives, or impulses. For example, a dog bite can mean you are overprotective. A lion bite can mean you are too proud. To be bitten by a cat can symbolize arguments or fights with a female, especially a girlfriend or wife. See: Cats Look up the type of the animal that bites you. See: Animals Biting in an erotic context can indicate excessive sexuality. It’s a way of saying “too much of a good thing.” Along this line, it can mean that something has captivated you, particularly if something bites you and latches on. Biting is a childish impulse and can be a childish way of expressing frustration or anger. It can symbolize the expression of feelings in a childish manner. Biting in a dream can be a way of getting your attention. For example, a snake bite on the wrist is known to be an attempt by the unconscious mind to get your attention, because the time is ripe with potential for positive change. It’s a way of saying “take action.” If you ignore or repress something it will try to get your attention in your dreams, and a bite definitely gets your attention! A snake or spider bite can symbolize that something is negatively affecting you, poisoning you figuratively. It can symbolize poisonous thoughts, feelings, or influences. See: Venom Biting is sometimes used as a warning. For example, when your pet cat bites you because you have crossed some sort of line with it. Therefore, biting can be a warning to be careful, to respect boundaries. A situation can suddenly turn on you, the same as a friendly pet can suddenly turn on you. “Bite off more than you can chew” means to take on too much at once. The symbolism can show in dreams where you cannot chew everything in your mouth or wrap your mouth around something. Biting and swallowing a penis can symbolize taking something masculine into yourself. For example, after a day hanging out with a group of macho men, a woman dreams about eating a big sausage given to her by Clint Eastwood. It’s a way of saying she’s taking the experience into herself and digesting it. Both the sausage (a phallic symbol) and Clint Eastwood are symbols of machismo. A young woman who had been mercilessly bullied by her classmates dreams about being forced to suck the penis of one of the bullies. She decides to pretend like she wants to do it, then bites off the penis. See: Revenge Biting can symbolize pain in the body, which is sometimes described as a “biting pain.” The dreaming mind translates any input or stimuli into symbolism, so a sharp pain experienced while dreaming can be translated into the action of being bitten by something.
