Why do I have recurring dreams about my teeth falling? Does it signify something?

Question

Keep having this dream where my teeth shatter in my mouth. Very disturbing. Wat does it mean?

Answer 1

Dreams do not have intrinsic meaning. However, they can be influenced by sounds. Are you grinding your teeth during sleep?

Answer 2

Have had this dream thousands of times!
Sometimes i actually wake up believing i have no teeth left!
Have checked out its possible meaning hundreds of times and i am happy to accept that this dream actually has no meaning. It's generally because we have forgotten to brush our teeth the night before, or have some kind of irritation in the mouth.

Answer 3

Recurring dreams mean there is something you have to acknowledge and accept for them to stop.

Teeth signify anxiety.
Anxiety about your appearance.

Symbolically the teeth represent power (you need them to chew/gnaw etc) - you may be feeling dis-empowered and/or could be having difficulties expressing yourself (teeth help you to talk clearly) - you may need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

Answer 4

I get dreams like that every so often. I dream something bad happens with my teeth like some of them fall out or go bad. Then I wake up a bit worried but realise it was a dream and feel relieved.

Answer 5

According to Dreamcrowd:

To see bites in your dream, forewarns of danger from someone who has wished you harm, either physical or monetary. Be careful of people who surround you. To dream that you are being bitten, represents your vulnerability regarding your unresolved issues emotions. You may be pestered by a problem or obstacle. To dream that you are being bitten by a vampire, signifies your need to shut out a person in your life who has been using you. It is time to open your eyes and stand up for your self. Do not let yourself be manipulated and played for a fool. To dream of biting someone in your dream, signifies the pressure you are putting on some people causing them great distress. You may have unexpressed, perhaps even childish, feelings of anger or resentment that need to be recognized. This dream is a message for you to lighten up and alleviate the stress that you are putting on others.

Answer 6

Actually I'd agree with Miss Revenge about you feeling powerless ... or maybe you have a deep-seated fear of being ineffective, or of being perceived as ineffective. Think about it. Your teeth are a symbol for what you take on, or bite into, and you are afraid of taking on more than you can chew ... dreams and language are often so close.

Answer 7

its not just the teeth, but it can mean your mouth. more precicly what are you doing with your mouth during waking hours??? i had this one once. and it was at a time i seemed to be talking a lot of crap about things and people... i started to check myself and think maybe i should not say bad things about others. have not had dream since.

Answer 8

my mom told me an oldwives tail about that. LIke your teeth represent your family if they fall out someone will die...now i cant say that is true...but i did have a dream my back tooth fell out and then a couple days later my great grandma died...

Answer 9

It supposedly means, in real life, that you have some kind of tooth issue, such as grinding your teeth, cavity, etc. I read somewhere that the pain or pressure in your mouth while you are sleeping somehow gets into your subconscious and plays in your mind.

Answer 10

Broken teeth can mean potential pain ( when or if pressure is applied); unfaithful, undependable friends or people in your life.
Loss of a tooth can also mean loss of a friend. Sorry.
