Being bitten
Bitten, Bite marks, Someone biting you
Being bitten in a dream is a sudden, sharp shock, and you may wake up checking for marks. A bite is often a creature's defense, so the dream may point to a reaction you didn't see coming: someone snapping at you, a remark with teeth or a situation that turned on you when you got too close. What bit you shapes the reading, since a pet, a wild animal and a person each say something different about where the hurt came from. A bite that broke the skin suggests the matter has really gotten to you. If it was only a playful nip, someone may be testing your limits in fun.
