What does it mean if you constantly dream about losing some of your teeth?

Question

I have had many dreams of losing my teeth which have terrified me lol, not constantly in a row, but every now and again. What does this mean?

Answer 1

well usually dreams of loose teeth, rotting teeth, or losing teeth have something to do with stress and anxiety.
It's your subconcious' way of telling yourself that you are afraid you are losing control of a situation or that you are afraid that people are thinking less of you.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness, so many answers and sorry but none too helpful to you when you are worried about this! Be assured this is nothing scary. I myself have had losing teeth dreams at important times in my life. I know others have too and the meaning that can only fit this is that you are maturing and growing, you are in an important time of your life. Symbolically teeth are falling out when you are very young and learning and growing. Teeth changes can occur with old age too. Dreams of teeth crumbling and falling out simply mean you are in a time of change, you are learning, becoming wiser. Nothing to worry about - these dreams can occur when you are deciding to change to a more suitable job, or house, you are looking at something in life and making changes for the better, or dealing with something which will bring you wisdom, ie you learn to make changes for the better. Rest easy.

Nothing to worry about this is very common, as we grow older we fear the affects this ageing process brings, in childhood we associated the loosing of teeth with getting older and moving into adulthood.Most old people we know loose thire teeth. Try to think of the positive side of getting older like more money more confidence write them down on paper and put it under your pillow tonight all will be well, sweet dreams...

Answer 4

Theres a book in my house that give explanations of dreams and what they mean. Its really interesting.

Apparently when teeth are falling out in a dream or coming out easily means we are going through some form of a transformation e.g. from childhood to maturity or maturity to old age and helplessness.

If someone is anxious about teeth dropping out it suggests there is a fear about getting old and undesirable or maturing.


I hope for your sake it is not maturity into old age and helplessness haha =) Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Dreams about teeth usually represent an anxiety, I think teeth falling out means your worried about money, or will have a financial problem soon.

Answer 6

Popularly teeth are supposed to stand for aggressive sexuality - although more properly they signify the growth process towards sexual maturity. Teeth falling out easily indicates we are aware of going through some transition, similar to that from childhood to maturity or from maturity to old age and helplessness. If there is anxiety about teeth falling out it suggests fear of getting old and undesirable or anxiety about maturity. If a woman swallows teeth it signifies pregnancy.

Answer 7

I have that same dream, repeatedly actually. I'm kinda phobic about my dental hygiene though so I think it's just my fear of losing my teeth.According to an online dream dictionary, dreams of your teeth falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be found out. I think that's a total crock of crap.

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.

I had similar dreams/nightmares and someone told me it meant illness or being struck by a serious illness, nothing happened at the time of my dreams, but six months later I was severely ill. After that I never had those dreams again, very strange.

Answer 10

I have had this dream also, a few times....All my teeth just start getting loose and they just fall out into my hands its awful. I think it represents your feeling as if you are out of control of what is going on in your life at that particular time. Just my thoughts anyway...
