Bite
To be bitten in a dream is a sharp, sudden hurt, and the old books read it as touching jealousy, sorrow, or the wish to undo what cannot be undone. The dream tends to ask where something has sunk its teeth into us — a regret, an enemy, a feeling — and what part of us still smarts from the wound.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bite, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
This dream omens ill.
It implies a wish to undo work that is past undoing. You are also likely to suffer losses through some enemy.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you are bitten, foretells much jealousy and sorrow.
