A Dictionary of Dream Symbols

by Eric Ackroyd
(1) Biting is a symbol of aggressiveness.

If you are doing the biting and it feels good, the dream may be expressing anger that arises out of repression. What is the repressed part of you that is craving - and undoubtedly deserves - recognition and expression in your outer life?

(2) If vou arc being bitten, what is ‘biting’ you? What is bothering you in your life, or what is the inner problem that you need to resolve? Bear in mind that everything in a dream is usually an aspect of yourself. Therefore, both what is biting and what is being bitten need to be both identified and reconciled. In other words, the biting means there is some inner conflict, which will usually be between vour conscious ego and something in your unconscious.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
This dream is a symbol of aggressiveness. Through the act of biting, you destroy an element apart from you to make it part of yourself or simply to eliminate it. Often, this is provoked because you harbor some anger or bitterness that you need to express.

If you are the victim of a bite, you may be burdened by a problem or going through a difficult time.

If an animal bites you, you should ask yourself what aspect of your personality that animal represents. (See MOUTH, TEETH, and JAW)

To dream of bite marks means you will suffer a loss because of your enemy. To receive a bite foretells jealousy and annoyance.
