Thread: my teeth fell own

I have teeth dreams like the one you described a lot....A whole lot. I get mine because I am obsessed with taking care of my teeth. Perhaps you have yours because you are having a problem that's been bothering you for awhile, and in your dream, dealing with that problem helped you to feel better. Either that, or you've watched A Stir of Echoes recently....

Ive never heard of that kind of dream specifically. Ive had several teeth falling out dreams but they were horrible, and made me feel weak and very anxious. Ive heard generalizations that teeth represent your strentgh and that them falling out represents a feeling of weakness from within. But you were pulling them out! You got me! Im sure you know the answer.....somewhere inside you its there.

We have an expression - "it's like pulling teeth" - when we refer to the difficulty we have getting information out of someone. Usually when things, including teeth, come out of a person's mouth in dreams, it refers to the words coming out of a person's mouth. In this scene, as your teeth are coming out so readily, it can indicate that words and information are not very difficult to get out of you. No one has to pull them out as you are doing it yourself.

The loose teeth can suggest words that you find yourself eagerly wanting to get out. This seems suggested also by the comment that it felt so good to get the teeth out. This can imply words or info that you feel relieved to have said. (like a relief when they came out)

However, when your words are symbolized by teeth coming out of your mouth, you might need to consider whether this easy flow of info really works in your favour. Usually a loss of teeth is considered a significant loss to a person. When we see the meaning of teeth in terms of their function, we can see that they represent the intelligence we have that lets us process our food for thought (chew it) so it can be incorporated into our body of knowledge (digested and understood). Thus any loss of teeth basically indicates a loss to one's
intelligence or to the appearance of having intelligence.

On a physical level of interpretation, the teeth can represent friends - people who are sources of information for you. As the teeth are loose, they can imply friends who are not really fast or steadfast friends. It might be a relief to rid yourself of them. You cannot count on them just as you cannot rely on chewing with loose teeth. [Note that the info coming from you, when based on info from unreliable sources, may not add to your appearance of having intelligence.]
