Question

Dream Interpretation
random

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'm not so sure what I believe about the ideas behind the meaning of dreams. Teeth are quite interesting ones, if I remember rightly and there are many that involve them. I think to dream of a lot of teeth signifies something on your mind that is eating away at you. I could be wrong but I thought teeth falling out was a fear or insecurity of losing something, or perhaps financial issues. Hope this helps. Sorry I don't know a lot. There are probably books on meanings of dreams or even websites online that can help. My one advice would be is to not get too caught up in the meanings behind them. They are interesting and a lot of the time it does seem there is some truth in the meanings but I think even experts will admit that sometimes it's not always right and we dream randomly because our minds are all over the place. I guess it depends what you believe.

Answer 3

IMO, it's a dream of insecurity. I mean having your teeth fall out would be pretty dramatic socially speaking. You wouldn't want to smile or even go out in public - to me that speaks of insecurity. I believe even the most confident person has some insecurity and no teeth would freak anyone out.

The exception to this would be if you've been having some trouble with your teeth. Toothaches, bleeding gums, anything of that sort could trigger a dream about your teeth.

Answer 4

You are not offering enough to offer an interpretation on. It depends on the rest of the dream, not just one symbol. It could mean any number of things, such as gossip, or bad words coming out of your mouth, or it could mean that you are growing up and becoming more mature, as we shed baby teeth, in exchange for grown up teeth. Or it could mean that you need a trip to the dentist. There is so much more to dream interepretation than just analyzing one symbol, the symbols fit together to tell a story, and you will not get the complete picture that way...

Answer 5

I think it is supposed to symbolize the irreversable loss of power or control over your life. I have this dream all the time, which is awesome because I know whenever my teeth start falling out that I am dreaming and start doing awesome stuff like peeling glass and floating through the streets on an invisible Segway. Now that's real power. You should try it sometime!

Answer 6

Gusse it means you think about teeth and falling often?
Falling dreams are scary by the way. Hehe.

Answer 7

Based from what old folks have told me, unfortunately it means death. I have dreams like this too, and scares the hell out of me. But of course when I wake, a prayer won't hurt. Be thankful it was just a dream, and my teeth still intact.

Answer 8

Not sure but I have had a dream like this a few times myself.

Answer 10

You want to be a prize fighter, but refuse to use the cumbersome teeth guard.

It's a common dream.

May want to switch dreams to Indy Racing without a seat belt.

Just a thought...
