what does it mean when i keep having the same dream about my teeth falling out?

Answer 1

Wow, I have those all the time. They really freak me out, but I'm thankful to say that I don't think they mean anything. Maybe we are just anxious about something?

Answer 2

You're afraid of something you said being heard by someone you don't want it to be heard by. Does that make sense? Kinda saying "Watch what you say to people"

A couple suggestions already stated are good answers also as there is not one true answer to this dream. I have had it before too.

-I had problems with my teeth ( so I had a problem with their appearance)
-I grinded them at night
-I was verbally mean to my mother the day before


Take upon these answers that you received and pick the one that best suits your life.

Take care.

Answer 3

Teeth falling out shows you feel that you've lost control of something in your life. Take some quiet time to reflect on your life and be open minded while u do it. You'llbe surprised at the answers you get.

Answer 4

Actually, although it could be psychological like all the other posters said, people usually dream about teeth falling out because they are grinding their teeth in their sleep. You should ask your dentist if you grind your teeth because you can actually do some real damage to your teeth by grinding them.

Answer 5

This is actually a pretty common dream!
It is basically reflecting concerns about one’s physical and social appearances.

Here's an example fom a dream website!

""My teeth feel like they are going to come out, and I feel them and I start to pull them out. I feel really upset about this because I'm afraid it's going to look really bad. I then look in the mirror and I say to myself, well, it's not that bad; but they still keep coming.

And the really weird thing is that I'm at a party and the mirror is in the bathroom. And that's the end.

Hi Angela—

Thanks for sending in such a classic example of a "teeth falling out" dream. The good news is that there's no need to make a dentist's appointment. Your teeth most likely are very healthy and are in no danger of actually falling out. The bad news? Oh heck! You're growing older -- just like the rest of us!

Dreams of teeth falling out are universally associated with concerns about appearance. The dreams may seem puzzling at first, but next time you look in the mirror, consider how important your teeth are in your presentation to others. The first thing another person sees when they meet us is our smile.

Your dream contains all the clues we need to solve its puzzle. Not only are you looking in a mirror (afraid that you are going to look bad) but you are doing it in a public setting. You're at a party! Why does the dream choose this seemingly bizarre context for your concerns? It's easy! When you're at a party, appearances are at a premium.

Appearance issues evolve with age. When we are teens, teeth falling out dreams may reflect concerns about fitting in with a group, or knowing the right thing to say in a certain situation -- in addition to physical appearance issues. As we grow older, the dreams often reflect concerns about attractiveness. They are especially common after we suffer setbacks in relationships such as breakups or divorce. As we grow older still, soon we are concerned with the effects of age: wrinkles, gray hairs, sagging muscle tone and extra weight.

As you say in your dream, "it's not that bad, but they still keep coming." What is the symbolic meaning of "they?" Most likely it's those extra years that keep adding up!

Next time you look in the mirror, be sure to give yourself a big smile -- for being so smart, wise, and wonderful -- in addition to being beautiful! :-) ""

Hope that helps! ^_^

Answer 9

You are losing control in life or you are getting old. Most likely you are afraid of changes and losing teeth signifies losing control.

Answer 10

It could mean you have a fear of loosing your teeth; it could be related to a childhood problem involving a fear of dentists; you could be neglecting proper care of your teeth and are concerned about loosing them.
