do you ever have reacaring dreams,?

Question

i have one where all my teeth fall out

Answer 1

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.�

Answer 2

I have recurring dreams. In childhood these were quite horrific and frightening.
I'd be sitting in a seat at the cinema when the same film title would come on the screen (a nonsense one, not a real one). At this point the seat would tip back and send me through a hole in the floor, down into an underground hell hole, where train would carry me into a furnace. I was born toward the end of the last war and if I believed in reincarnation would attribute this to having been a victim of the holocaust in former life. I can't remember having been told about the holocaust previously, as no-one talked about it in the post war years, and certainly not to children, but my dreams were very graphic.***
I came to recognise these as nightmares and with a struggle, could wake myself out of them. Although I stopped getting that particular dream when I was about nine or ten, I still use the waking up trick when needed, which isn't very often.
My recurring dreams nowadays are usually of me flying like superman or floating in the air. Freud had an explanation for this, as he did with many dreams. Sometimes I am flying over water or teetering at the top of a tall building, wondering if I have the courage to lean forward and fly, but fearing I'll just crash to the ground. When the latter happens, I wake up rapidly, wouldn't you?
***A more likely explanation for these dreams is that I used to go to Saturday morning pictures with my friends when I was a boy in the fifties. A regular feature was of Superman or Flash Gordon getting into just such scrapes and you had to come back next week to see how they escaped. The answer was always a cheat.

Answer 3

Teeth falling out is supposedly a sign of feeling unsafe and insecure?? I used to have a reaccuring dream when i was a small child but not had any as an adult. Mine was (this is gonna sound stupid, but as a small child it WAS scary) that there was a sculpture on the corner of my street. It was modern art type thing made out of Iron. Anyway id always dream the same scenerio...that id approach it to have a closer look then it's suddenly become unhinged and start walking towards me...and as usual try as I might i couldnt run....i would be like one of those cartoon charectors..routed to the spot. I used to go to bed dreading that dream..then id get it!!

Answer 4

Your dream is actually quite common.
You maybe grinding your teeth, try getting a mouthguard.

Mine are tornadoes. They always twist out by the dozens on the horizon but never come in close.

The other one is not being able to find a classroom.
or
There's a test that I know I studied for but can't remember cracking the book ... and still searching for that damned classroom!
For Pete's sake, I got straight As in school and graduated a looong time ago!

Thirdly, I dream my Dad's still alive but has been living somewhere else (he's been dead for 20 years). Then he pops back like nothing happened.

It'd be interesting to get a shrink on this question, analyze all of us.

Answer 5

Yes, I have before. Often it is said that reoccuring dreams are our subconscious trying to tell us something. Maybe your teeth falling out doesn't really mean that your teeth are going to fall out, persay. Maybe your teeth are a representation of something else. However, maybe you are just having weird dreams and there isn't a deep, psychological explanation for it. I hope you find an answer.

Answer 6

Yes all the time!
Your brain is trying to sort out a problem, and until that problem is resolved you would keep having the same dream.
My dream book words: ' If you dream of losing your teeth, it has`to do with 'loss' in general such as youth and all things associated with our anxiety of getting older.'
