Dreaming that you are moving backward indicates that you are regressing in some area of your life. Rather than moving forward towards your goals, you are doing the opposite and moving away from your goals. Alternatively, this dream symbol could indicate that you need to retreat in some area of your life. You may need to step away from what you are doing in order to see the situation from a different perspective. Sometimes what seems to be a step in the wrong direction is actually exactly the path you need to take. Use your energy and excitement as a guide to determine what is the best course of action for you at this time.
