I don't put a lot of store by either Freud or Oneiramancy, but this one was weird enough to warrant asking. In the dream, I pulled out a loose canine which turned into a black umbrella with a curved bone handle. I didn't open it, but was sure in the dream that it had magical properties. This dream followed a fairly routine erotic dream.
Is there more going on here than having a burrito before my afternoon nap?

Gary, it's not the scientific aspects of Freud that I have a problem with. Freudians tend to ignore the big picture in favor of trivia and to force a one size fits all symbolism on everyone, regardless of culture or context.

You may been on to something, Shihan. It was the left canine.

Dream Interprater, nothing in the question had to do with biting. Read before you write.

Teeth are part of the throat chakra, which is for communication. When we have specific issues regarding our teeth, it represents the inability to make decisions. Try to remember if it was on the right or left side of your mouth. Left represents yin, feminine relationships; right yang, masculine relationships. I would tend to say left side, because the umbrella was black, which is yin. Perhaps you are having a difficult time deciding how to proceed in a relationship (if you should or not at all)?
That is how I would look at it. Inability to make a decision.

"Teeth {Most req. word}
Teeth was the most requested dream word of all so here goes... If you dream of having false teeth this indicates that you will have unexpected help on a problem. To dream of rotten teeth shows that you have been telling someone a lie or using your smooth words for getting your own way no matter what. If your teeth are rotten, crooked, and/or falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be found out. If you dream you have swallowed a tooth you will soon have too 'eat your words'. It becomes much easier to interpret this kind of dream if you think of teeth as representing words. When the dreamer is not the one with the bad teeth you will naturally have to watch out for someone lying to you. "

When you dream of losing teeth it has the meaning of aging. Since the tooth turned into a umbrella I would think that as you get older you will feel some sheltering force from someone or something. It might have something to do with whomever was in the erotic part of your dream.

I looked this up online and heres what i found
Dreams about losing our teeth symbolize the loss of childhood innocence. These dreams often occur at times of transition from one life stage to the next and can be a message that an important milestone is occurring and urging you to face the inevitable. Your dream may be a message that an important milestone is occurring and urging you to face the inevitable.
We need our teeth to feed our bodies. Eating is necessary to maintain the body's growth, energy and health. In this context, losing teeth may be associated with insecurity about your livelihood. Perhaps you are stuck in a "dead-end" job and fear for your future. Perhaps you are growing older and are becoming anxious about how much time you have left to work and make an income. You may be getting "long in the tooth" and fear losing your sexual attractiveness. Dreaming of false teeth symbolizes concern about your self-image. We all must deal with the process of growing older. Find fun ways to re-invent yourself incorporating all the wisdom and experience that you have gained.
Since many of the dreams that are associated with your teeth falling out can be unpleasant, anxiety can hit you when you are trying to sleep. The result can be a restless night of a lot of tossing and turning, or in more serous cases, insomnia. Dream RX is a sleep aid that can leave you assured of a good nights rest.

I have also had that dream before. I read somewhere that teeth are a symbol of self esteem or confidence. But then the part of them turning into a black umbrella.. no clue. Very interesting anyway. I can seldom remember my dreams.

well usually dreams of loose teeth, rotting teeth, or losing teeth have something to do with stress. Its 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.
Sometimes an umbrella can mean something protecting you. And just because all these things happened together in the dream doesn't mean they are all related to the same thing, dreams are weird that way.
So maybe you are afraid that you are losing control of a situation but you also have a way to prevent that loss.

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 dream of pulling the wings off my plane while doing an outside Lomcevok.
I suggest you see your dentist.
edit: Possibly I need to talk with Shirley McClain, but I'm not worried about it. I believe in learning from the past, not obsessing about it. The future is so much more interesting. So many brand new and intriguing mistakes to be made...

hi Cristina: it may look that the potential of advice is at artwork right here. over the years the dream of "dropping enamel" has been given quite a few meanings and many times fake. Your grandmothers age, the advice to you that enamel recommend loss of existence and a organic worry of loss is all (for my area) at artwork on your suggestions, relax, appreciate your grandmother because of the fact separation is interior the destiny yet this dream would not recommend it is going to likely be a quick destiny. solid success

I've heard that losing your teeth in the manner which you refer is symbolic of losing control over something in your life, or not having control. Hey, Freud might not have theories that are testable and falsifiable (thus "scientific") but he provided us with valuable insight in the human psyche nonetheless!
