Teeth Crumbling Dreams

[JoeyBelgier]

"Teeth Crumbling Dreams" is not my custom user title without a reason, and I'm sure the reason is obvious. Always when I'm getting depressed again in wake life, I tend to dream that my teeth crumble apart, that I take them out of my mouth and hold them in my hand. I've been going down a bit a again (trying to pick myself up though), et voila, I got the dream again last night. One of my upper front teeth broke in 3 pieces and I took them out of my mouth, went downstairs panicking and yelling at my mother to do something about it (stop panic, heheh) Anyshizzle, I slept through the dream and don't know what happened next. One of the previous times it was quite a bit more disturbing since I was looking in a mirror. I saw my teeth falling out and blood running down the drain... I picked up one and it looked more like a 1 - 2 inch predator tooth than a human one I've read I'm not the only one to have this recurring dream, but I'm wondering, does any of -you- guys have it too, for the same reason?

Yeah man I've had them. My teeth dissolve like acid were on them. Feels really weird. I think I have them because I'm self-conscious of my teeth and their hygiene.

This is a very common thing, apparently. Though I've never actually had one of these dreams myself. I've chipped a tooth in a dream before, but that's as close as I've gotten.

Not frequently, but definitely over the years. Could be that idea of the impermanence of things makes them behave differently in the dream world (like writing on paper). Our teeth leave us when young, and when old, so I guess they are relatively impermanent to the rest of our body. My best guess would be you grind your teeth (we all do occasionally) and that is just getting incorporated into the dream.

Teeth Crumbling dreams are very frequent with me, i'm not sure why. I have braces as well, so it feels really weird. Sometimes the entire brace will come off and then i rip it off, and then other times a tooth will fall out and only hang on by the brace. Does anyone know what causes these dreams? is it paranoia? or something deeper?

Oh! I always have these. They are so stressful!! I grind my teeth in the dream and then they just give in then turn to powder. It is possibly the worst feeling in the world.
