For the past 10 years or so I've had a semi-regular recurring dream. I have it about once every 2-3 months, sometimes a tad more often. It is a dream where all my teeth fall out. In many of these dreams I try to put them back where they should be, but they keep falling out. Sometimes I'm in a car, sometimes in a room, sometimes at work, other times....I'm not sure where I am. But usually all my teeth fall out over whatever time frame this dream is. My most recent dream included the fact that some of my teeth are "restored" and the implant posts fell out along with the bridge of teeth.
What does this all mean? Well, there are many books and web sites with theories on what dreams mean. It could be a fear of being rejected, fear of my beauty fading (yeah right, like that could happen), fear of rejection, fear of losing power, putting my trust in human made things rather than God, telling lies, and my personal favorite: fear of losing my fortune (money).
Well, thats a lot of options. Apparently dreaming about teeth falling out is a pretty common dream. I, however, have a different take on the whole interpreting of this dream. About 10 years ago I was in a car accident where I lost 5 teeth and damaged others, ultimately having another 4 pulled. I now have very extensively restored teeth. Do I think MAYBE that has something to do with my dreams? I'm leaning towards that. Maybe, since I have spent so much time, energy and money thinking about and dealing with my teeth, it really is a dream that means little more than the obvious: I'm afraid to loose my teeth. Could it be that simple?
