What Does It Mean to Dream About Backbiting?

Dreams about backbiting can be caused by guilt you are experiencing from the waking world. Sometimes, backbiting is a common sign that you are feeling inferior to someone or unworthy somehow. Suppose this is combined with other dreams where you fear being humiliated and not up to par. In that case, there may be an issue of self-confidence plaguing you.

Backbiting can also symbolize a need to take back control of your life. Suppose you have been feeling victimized in some way. In that case, you may be dreaming about backbiting as a means of empowerment over an external force or situation which has controlled you.

For example, at your workplace, a colleague’s been pushing your work as his own, and you are thinking of getting back at him in your dream. This doesn’t mean that your conscience is driving you to be aggressive and confrontational. Instead, it is a reflection of the fact that you feel so miserable at work that something must change.

You are the one being backbitten

In your dream, this situation may have taken a turn for the worse, and it is possible that you feel frustrated because of what happened in the dream. Perhaps someone has backbitten you to your face or maybe have done so behind your back. This suggests that you need to assert yourself, stop being a pushover, and reclaim control over your life.

The person who is backbiting you in your dream may be someone close to you, such as a friend, family member, or loved one. The message behind the dream is that you need to open up and share how you feel.
