What do dreams about teeth mean?

Question

I always dream about me losing teeth and it scares me. I believe dreams have meanings in weird ways. The other night I dreamed that a lot of my back teeth just started crumbling out in HUGE chunks. I have had numerous dreams about me losing teeth that I can't even think of them all. Another one I can think of off the top of my head is I had a dream that I lost all of my bottom teeth but they came out really weird. They were my real teeth but fell out like dentures.

Any dream interpreters that can explain dreams about losing teeth and meaning to them. My teeth are in decent condition, I brush them like I should. I could floss more and they could use a cleaning but I don't think that has anything to do with my dreams. I think it is something more mythological meaning but that has a meaning, ya know.

I do clinch my teeth REALLY bad and have done it for years, my back teeth if that means anything?

So what does it mean?

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.?

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.

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 3

In my country, dreaming about falling or crumbling teeth means that there will a dead in the family.

But I dont believe that. What I believe is if we dream about falling teeth, perhaps we are too obsessed of what might happen to our teeth, like they may get cavities etc.

It was the same when I repeatedly dreamed of my face being torn apart or got scars because I was worry if my smooth skin (especially the face part) got flawed. I stop dreaming it now as I dont think of it anymore!

im sorry for what you are going to hear,

The Front Two Teeth-Upper and Lower : They symbolise a person's children, brothers and sisters.


Loose Teeth : Loose teeth implies that one of his family members will fall ill.


Teeth in the Pocket : Pocketing the teeth or wrapping them in cloth or seeing them falling into the hand or keeping them in the house-any of these is a harbinger of a child, brother or sister being born. If may also mean his deriving some benefit from one of them.


Masticating Teeth : To see the teeth in the act of chewing suggest that one of his family members will fall ill.


Long Teeth : If a person sees his teeth as long or white or beautiful, it means that he will witness certain conditions in some of his family members that will give him pleasure and satisfaction.


Molars : They symbolise a person's paternal uncles, aunts etc. Any defect ion them is suggestive of similar misfortune regarding them.


Canine : This symbolises the head of the household on whom the household depends.


Pre-molars : These symbolise one's maternal uncles and aunts.


Molars and Pre-molars : These symbolise a persons paternal and maternal uncles and aunts. The upper ones will then symbolise the males and the lower ones the females. If a person sees any of these as fallen, and he does not pick them up nor or count them, it means one of his relatives will die. And if he sees all of them having fallen and he does not pick them up nor does he count them it suggest that he will outlive all of them, being the last to die.


An Incident : It is related that Ameerul_Mu'mineen, Mansoor, dreamt that he had lost all his teeth. In the morning he called for an interpreter. The interpreter came and after listening to the dram, said to Mansoor: “All your relatives will die.” Upon this, Mansoor became infuriated, saying : “May Allah lock your mouth! May He never let your interpretation become a reality! Now be gone!”. The another interpreter was called who fortunately was familiar with courtly protocols. He said: “O Ameerul-Mu'mineen, you will live for a long time. You will be the last to die amongst your relatives”.

Highly delighted with his tactful interpretation, the Ameerul-Mu'mineen laughed, remarking: “both interpretations are the same, but the manner employed by you is more superior and excellent!” He then presented him ten Thousand Dirhams as a gift.

I have that dream all the time!!!! From what I gather, this dream is either the result of nightime teeth grinding, excessive anxiety or random neuron firings with absolutly no meaning whatsoever. You have to decide what it means for you!
