Luke Graham fired Dundee into the lead after the break but the Edinburgh side stormed back with goals from Ante Suto and Jamie McGrath in the final six minutes.
However, deep in stoppage time, Cameron Congreve popped up to snatch a draw for the home side.
Once the dust had settled, Dundee had moved seven points clear of Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot while Hibs are now seven behind fourth-placed Motherwell.
The hosts kept faith with the team that won against Aberdeen at Pittodrie last Saturday, although Joe Westley, Ash Hay and Brad Halliday all returned from injury and started on the bench.
The visitors made just one change to the team that beat Celtic at Parkhead last Sunday, with Dane Scarlett replacing Martin Boyle up front.
The Dark Blues were the first to threaten in the seventh minute when Congreve delivered a corner from the right to Ethan Hamilton but the midfielder could not direct his header on target with the ball flying over Hibs goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger's bar.
It was the capital club who made the breakthrough just four minutes later when Nicky Cadden hit a cross from the left and Elding sent a close-range header past Jon McCracken in the Dundee goal.
However, Dundee equalised in the 15th minute when Graham found Murray inside the Hibs box with the striker turning Rocky Bushiri and hitting a shot that deflected in off the defender.
In the 56th minute, Hibs had their best chance of the second half so far when the ball broke kindly off Yan Dhanda inside the home box straight to Elding but this time the striker fluffed his lines and blasted well over.
The visitors upped the tempo and threatened again with two quickfire chances for Felix Passlack and McGrath but neither were able to take advantage.
Instead, it was the Dark Blues who took the lead in the 72nd minute when Drey Wright sent a superb cross into the Hibs box with Graham firing high past Sallinger at the back post.
Hibs were not done just yet and equalised in the 84th minute when Suto controlled a ball from fellow sub Martin Boyle and slotted a shot under McCracken.
McGrath scored Hibs' third just five minutes later, skipping past a couple of defenders before blasting a low shot past McCracken.
However, in the fifth minute of added time, Congreve ensured the game would end in a draw with a superb half-volley from the edge of the Hibs box past Sallinger.
What the managers said...
Dundee boss Steven Pressley:
"I thought for 80 minutes we were terrific. Great credit to David Gray, who made some really positive changes. The changes spooked us a little bit.
"We'd shown great composure with the ball for 80 minutes and then we just lost our way a little bit.
"Losing the two goals, I think it's easy for a team to go under but we responded again in amazing fashion.
"It said a lot about the group and the spirit that after that setback we managed to salvage a point so I couldn't be prouder."
Hibernian boss David Gray:
"It's real mixed emotions to be honest for me. I think it feels, because you lose a goal in the last second, like a defeat.
"I think that's natural because it is the last kick of the game.
"Take nothing away from the strike that got Dundee the point, I thought it was a fantastic hit, I was right behind it, I knew as soon as he hit it, it was going in.
"But I think the story of the day for us is the fact we've come to a really difficult place and we've had to score three goals to get a point because that's where we've let ourselves down, the defensive side of it.
"You can always affect it. I'm not saying there's nothing you can do, there's always things you can do, situations to stop things happening earlier in the process.
"But, unfortunately the feeling we've got right now is that we've been in this position before and it's something we'll address, we'll look at it.
"The other side to that is if we had scored in the last minute and got a point, the feeling that comes with that.
"So I have to be careful as the players are very low because of the manner of losing that goal in the last minute.
"But there is accountability across the board to make sure we learn from the experience and try to get better from it."
