Dream Symbol
backward

backward
Something that is backward or opposite of what you would expect can mean that something seems amiss, or not quite right about the situation represented in the dream. For example, having your shirt on backwards could mean that you don't feel quite right in some situation in your life, or that something feels a bit off within yourself or your experience. Something being backward can also mean that it represents something that you tend to get confused, such as the names of two people you've just met.
