ya i was thinking about trying to break them down myself but i dont fink i could get it as good as from a book! like on besides me for an example a bite in a dream signifies you will suffer the pangs of jealousy. i would have never got that meaning from trying to break it down!
To be honest, a 'bite' in a dream could mean so many things and may rather depend on who is biting you!
It could mean that something or someone is taking something from you without your consent.
That you have been initiated into something.
That something is draining your energy (like a vampire so to speak)
If a dog bit you, it could mean some sort of instinctive reaction from someone who is normally loyal which has taken you by surprise.
If a flea bit you, this could suggest being contaminated or feeling contaminated by a situation.
The meanings are endless and simply cannot be found in any one book but books can give us somewhere to start.
It's always worth remembering that the plethora of 'dream dictionaries' which have flooded the cheap book market at the moment are there to make money before anything else.
