Chinese folk symbolism connects being bitten with a small injury from a source close by — a pet, an insect, a hand that should be friendly. Traditional readings link it to friction within the household rather than outside threat.
In dream research, bites often reflect a felt betrayal or a boundary crossed by someone close. They appear during conflict with family or colleagues, and the body often registers the dream as a real sting on waking.
Note who the bite came from in the dream.
