Toothy Dreams
In last night’s dream…
A natural disaster had just occurred, I believe it was an earthquake. I was in junior high and teachers were rushing around and gathering students and putting them on buses.
For some reason, I had my NiteGuard mouthpiece in my mouth. It felt funny in my mouth. I pulled it out and found that the mouthpiece was in pieces and two of my bottom teeth were loose. Apparently, in a moment of terror, I had ground my mouthpiece to bits with my teeth. I pulled a compact mirror out of my school bag and peered into my open mouth. With my finger, I touched one of my loose teeth and noticed that it was on the verge of falling out.
While everyone else was in a virtual panic about the earthquake, I was more concerned about my teeth and getting to a dentist asap.
…and then I woke up. Twenty years had passed, but the good news is that I still had all my teeth.
Apparently dreams about teeth are quite common according to this website. While I don’t put much credence in the interpretations given in that site and others (as they are mostly unfavorable), I was pretty amused by last night’s nocturnal revelation.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Yep - that’s one of my stress dreams. That and missing exams.
i’ve heard that it indicates a dream about your lies recently told. according to the website, that’s a chinese thing. i see where that makes sense for me. i’ve heard no other interpretation til right now. how interesting. i once had a dream where i attempted to speak to someone only to have all my teeth fall out. i still remember the feeling to this day.
