What is the meaning of my dream?

Question

I had a really disturbing dream a few nights ago where my teeth all broke and fell out. I could feel the pain of my teeth breaking and the sensation of the broken bits in my mouth. I was really scared and when i woke up i felt really unsettled and have done since. I can't stop thinking about it. Any ideas anyone!!

Answer 1

Usually a dream about teeth falling out means you are feeling worried or insecure about something - I have had that dream a few times, its quite a general image that means the same thing for everyone, although it may actually mean that you have gum disease or something (but I doubt it!).

A few tips on dream analysis:

Ask your dreams to send you another dream to clarify. However you need to promise yourself that you will write your dreams down - and do this for a while. Its not easy but with practice you will find that you remember more dreams. Try to write as much detail as you can and try to relate personally to the dream images, for example if you dream of a friend what does that person mean to you, what are their dominant characteristics, have you seen them recently? The dream person may represent part of your personality or it may be that you need to address an issue with the real person.

Are you active or passive in the dream? If active then the dream may be about something you are doing in your life, if passive it may be that you need to get more pro-active in a particular area. Your gut instinct is what counts, if you get a dream interpretation right you can feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck (well I do!)

Dreams always contain a solution to a dilemma within the imagery. They often come in 3s - one after the other and look at the problem from different angles, look out for that if you do start some serious dream work. They are your own source of wisdom, so I'm glad you didn't ignore this teeth one - what is going on in your life right now that you are unsure about?

Try getting hold of The Dream Game by Ann Faraday - a great book to get you going on dream interpretation.

I hope this is useful.

PS: Great name!

They say that dreaming about teeth being removed from your mouth means that someone will die. But usually this refers to an entire tooth being pulled out in the whole, not little bits with some remaining in the mouth.

My interpretation: many people you know will be hurt in some way, most likely because of something you did or are going to do in the near future, I'd say in about 1 week's time since that's the time most of these cases happen in. Just be yourself and think about other things if you don't want to think about this dream, just be careful with what you do.

I'm not a professional dream counselor, so the things I'm going to say are just suggestions.

The meaning of teeth to human beings might be the answer to your question. We use our teeth to chew our food to get the nutriment necessary for our life. So, this might suggest that you feel that you cannot acquire the things you feel are necessary for you to live happily. You feel helpless.

Teeth have also been long time ago a natural weapon that we could use to defend ourselves. So, the dream might suggest that you feel helpless in front of some problems that probably relate to some important relationships. Maybe somebody is being mean to you and you feel for some reason that you cannot defend yourself.

Teeth are also used to give pleasure to our partner during sex. You know, soft bites etc... So, maybe you feel insecure about your skills to give pleasure to your partner.

Hope you can get some ideas from those :)

A dream like this may just have occured because u were grinding ur teeth in ur sleep. It may have been ur subconscious telling u, u r due a dentist appointment.
According to one dream book, it could be an omen of financial problems.

Freud said, it was a dream reflecting feeling of sexual insecurity or immaturity. (Although in my opinion, he thought everything was. I guess he was the sexually frustrated one!)

Raphael said it was illness.

I would suggest u had something on ur mind when u went to bed, and in grinding ur teeth had this dream. If it is re-occurring look at the thing that has been troubling u. Remember it was only a dream!

Answer 5

First things first: you do believe that dreams have meaning, right? In that case, search for clues that are related to teeth, the mouth, and things related to eating. Are you concerned about your weight? Are you simply just hungry? How do you feel about your appearance? The fact that you could feel the bits of teeth in your mouth suggests that maybe you feel like you don't have any control over your eating. Hope this helped a bit, I'm certainly no expert but that's my first impression.

Answer 6

Dreaming of falling teeth could be you are losing control.

However, in you case, it could be physical effect. If you do have a dental problem, that would also case the dream.

I suggest you go see a dentist to check it out. If everything is fine with your teeth. You may be nervous about something. It could mean you can't control certain things in life. Teeth falling could be a way your subconscious mind your project in the dream. You may also be stressed with something

Answer 7

I think this is a sensory echo dream. Sometimes when you are in REM sleep, sensory inputs such as sounds can be incorporated creatively in a dream. This is most common when the alarm from the alarm clock is used in the dream as something happening in the dream. Then you wake up.

Teeth breaking could have been caused by something in your mouth that your dream maker used to create the image of breaking teeth.

;-D Maybe you at a bug! EEEwwww!

Answer 8

Simple... Your body is trying to tell you something. Have you ever had a dream about peeing that you actually felt the sensations of peeing only to wake up needing to go pee?

You may actually be grinding your teeth while you are sleeping. It is a sleep disorder that is shared by many. Check with your doctor and/or dentists.

i do no longer placed lots advantage in dream books or 2d-hand dream interpretation yet I had a dream of snakes popping out of my abdomen which scared the hell outta me. Had an rather uneasy feeling approximately my wellness so I went to the surgeon. became out i became particularly sick. no longer asserting 'circulate to the surgeon, you're sick!' No, i'm asserting attempt to study the thoughts around the dream. in case you have/had any concerns concerning something- your self, a chum, a topic on your life- in step with probability you will desire to take a nearer seem into it. targets are the subconscious verbal replace between our bodies and our minds, you will desire to study what the climate recommend to you as a individual in the previous you may comprehend the message.

Answer 10

most of the time, if you have a very vivid or disturbing dream, it is because you ate something with alot of sugar or calories in it shortly before bed.
We could probably give you better guesses at a more cryptic meanings if you gave us the details of whay happened to cause your teeth to fall out, like what you were eating, or if you were fighting, ect...........
