I have these dreams too, and they are AWFUL! I think it may be a number of things. You may be grinding your teeth at night, which may trigger a dream like this. Psychologically, I think the dream signifies anxiety or self-conciousness. I've read up on it before, and I believe the meaning is different from person to person, but if you are really worried about something, this may be why!

"My Teeth Are Falling"
Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams we here at Dream Moods receive. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap.?Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?
One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.?
Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.?
Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.
In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.
Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.
Other Perspectives
A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicate that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.
In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.
According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if your are telling lies.?
It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.?

Interestingly, a similar dream was posted by someone else relatively recently. It is a sign of anxiety, not necessarily associated with your hygiene regimen. Look at your waking life. Are there areas to which you feel you are not paying close enough attention? Address these things, and you may find that the dreams begin to wane altogether.

i had a dream like that once, only i didnt bleed and it was the back ones that fell out. my front teeth stayed in. a weird but fascinating dream. what it means is that you value your teeth or something of the sort. your afraid to loose them and it would suck. dreams really dont have much impact, unless you know how to control them. its true that if you dream of something and it scares the **** out of ya, or you dont like the dream, its more than likely a true event that will take place,

hi Trey, some will allow you to already know what they imagine it potential, yet do not pay interest. it really is the actual deal, aims are out of your subconscious ideas on your wide awake ideas. So from you to you about you. to determine out what it potential you may want to decipher your own aims. i purchased a e book that took me by potential of the steps to attempt this, it worked and after I deciphered some aims...i ended dreaming those aims. Like I had the answer and did not opt to maintain asking. My sister requested me for over 10 years to decipher her aims. every time I advised her pass get an basic aims decoder e book and do it. After ten years she finally took my suggestion and Viola' I not in any respect listen any more effective about the aims, because she has decoded them for herself. Plus she did tell me it change into operating and how remarkable it change into that SHE finally found out her own question. Ha ha.. it really is the in uncomplicated words element that works. Freud is the most perfect author, yet no longer the least confusing. might want to maximum of your aims not in any respect come actual.

I just researched it some for you and it means that you are worried about your appearance so much that you're dreaming of losing it. Just be happy with the way you look. Maybe that will help with the consistent dreams.

Teeth falling out usally symbolizes death. Usally of the person whose teeth are falling out.
I'm not saying that your going to die or anyone you know. Just letting you know the general meaning.
