You would have watched numerous news stories on TV concerning people causing accidents by driving on the wrong side of the roadway. According to dream interpretation, going backwards in a race is a portent of impending conflict with others or a loss of good fortune.
The meaning of a dream shifts depending on the circumstances and the subject going backwards.
Dream fortune: Running backwards
If you run a marathon backwards while in a good mood, it’s a sign that you’re about to make positive changes in your life. If you dream that you are driving backwards on the highway, it could be a sign that you are about to undergo a significant transition in your life.
Those who have been successful up to this point will find themselves in a precarious position, while those who have been struggling recently can anticipate an improvement in their circumstances.
What is the basic meaning of running backwards?
Running in the wrong direction is not the same as running backwards, in which you shift into a reverse mode and run in the opposite direction. This is why many negative portents are associated with running backwards in a dream.
If you witness a dream in which you are shaken up by a car coming at you in reverse, you know you’re in deep trouble in your waking life.

Dream of a car driving in reverse
An automobile driving in reverse on a highway can make you feel as though your life is in immediate danger. If you experience a dream in which there are cars (other than your own car) moving in reverse, it means that you want to avoid getting into fights with people.
If in your dream, you avoid getting hit by a car moving in the reverse direction, it means that you are able to successfully stay away from any kind of trouble from toxic people in your waking life.
You worry a lot about other people and maybe need to find some healthy ways to release that stress.
Driving in the wrong direction
Dreaming of driving in the wrong direction (away from your intended destination) is a sign of bad luck. If your dreams are speaking the truth, you can expect the opposite of what you hope to occur.
Considering that things are not going to go smoothly owing to difficulties, you should reassess your schedule and deadlines.

Dreaming that you’re going the wrong way on an expressway is also a sign that you’re trying to shake things up in your life (to explore new things your life has to offer you).

Dream of an escalator running backwards
If you experience a dream in which an escalator breaks down and/or moves in reverse, it’s a sign that you need to forge through with your plans regardless of whether or not others will support you.

Dream of running in the wrong direction and getting caught
It is dangerous and illegal to drive in the opposite direction of the traffic flow. Dreaming that you run the wrong way and get caught is an indication that your personality is a bit too carefree.

If, however, you keep running down the escalator in reverse without ever making it to the top, your dream interpretation suggests that your hard work will go unrewarded for quite some time. As stress levels rise, now is the time to engage in activities that help you relax.
What is the state of mind when you dream of running in reverse?
If you dream about driving backwards, it’s probably because you’re frustrated with the way things are going or you want to avoid conflict with other people. Dreaming that you are travelling backwards on a highway can foretell a positive or negative transformation in your waking life.
One’s good fortune can turn sour at any time, while one’s bad fortune can improve and life can run well at any time.
