Teeth dreams

[stigmata]

What the hell does it all mean?

It could reflect anxiety about your appearance, a loss of power, or perhaps bruxism. More likely it's just random noise.

It's supposed to b a symbol of financial fear. It makes sense since oral health can be expensive and since poor people are often missing teeth.

But I don't buy the idea that dreams "mean" anything. They are just random thoughts tha sometimes can be useful to you personally to work some issue out but there are no universal meanings.

I used to have dreams about my teeth falling out. I was usually stressed out about something. Also, I used to work in the dental field, though, so teeth dreams were common then.

i learned about this in my personality psych class this year. it usually means that ur self-conscious about something and dont have that much confidence. but there are many theories.

Dream interpretations have to be specific to the person having the dream.

I've had this dream quite a few times. To me it has always communicated a feeling of helplessness. Teeth are tools, even weapons. Without them, or losing them, for me at least, has always signaled feelings of some sort of impotence or fear of it, and despair over it. I usually have had it when I've felt like I've had a bunch of serious overlapping problems that I can't do anything about.

I've never had a dream that they're falling out. But, I have had a dream where my gums have decayed and my teeth grow really thin up to where they are actually meeting whats left of my gums. They're barely hanging in by a thread. I don't think I've had this dream since I quit smoking.

I get this dream alot. Actually I got it last week, except my teeth broke and/or crumbled, and it freaks the hell out of me.

Yes, regularly. Somewhere around 2-3 times a year I'll have this dream. Usually the crumble a bit before falling out.

Ditto- they start breaking off and crumbling into pieces. Very disturbing.

I think it might have something to do with the sensation of air passing over them when your mouth falls open. Just speculating though.

i think i had a dream once(fairly recently) that one of my teeth came out -- i think this is the only time this has happened

i really dont remember my dreams well, until something happens during the day to remind me


cheers
