Dreams Don't Mean Anything?

[wehstar]

I have dreams, which I generally don't remember. I've had a few recently, but all of them have included the same incident on the side. My front tooth (the one at the top, you know, next to the false tooth I have after the soccer incident where the original became lodged in the opponent's forehead) becomes wobbly.

After a couple of minutes I realise that it is as wobbly as it was when I was a kid getting my second set of teeth. So I pull it out, concerned though that obviously I won't be getting a third set of teeth. To my surprise however, after chucking the tooth away, I find that I have a big strong perfect tooth grown right there. No wonder my other one got so wobbly.

Does it mean anything?

Freud mentions tooth dreams in his "Interpretation of Dreams". Er- they usually have a Fear of Aging/Dying interpretation. Hey-ho.

How dark.

Well I do fear death, but only in a natural way like anyone else I think.

I am getting old now. In a couple of years I'll be heading into my thirties. No longer am I young and carefree. I'm tied down with a mortgage, a responsible job, a pension, and other suchlike things that don't include children.

I think you're subconsiously worried about losing that one too, lol.

The night before I got my braces off, I had a dream they took them off, and my teeth got wobbly, then starting falling out, one by one. It was like since the braces weren't there, there was no reason for my teeth to still be in my head, lol.
Course, I was 15, and they'd been in my mouth for 2 years.. I'd gotten attached to them I guess.

Teeth

To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

To dream that your teeth is lose, signifies failures and bad news.

To dream that you are brushing your teeth, signifies that you will undergo a hard struggle in order to hold on to your fortune.

Teeth {Most req. word}

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.

Teeth

Dreams about teeth and losing teeth are common. Often the dream is troubling, although it does not contain the same fear or anxiety as a nightmare. In the dream, the teeth often are a concern only to the dreamer. Other characters in the dream either do not notice, or do not care, about the loose teeth.

A 19-year-old woman reports: I am in the bedroom combing my hair. A guy comes in and asks me if I am in a relationship. I say no. Then, he asks me out on a date. I say yes. He is about to kiss me and I ask him to hold that thought for a second. I go to freshen up a bit. When I wipe my mouth, my teeth begin falling out! Every one I touch falls out. No bleeding, just empty spaces in my mouth. I go back out of the bathroom, concerned, but the guy doesn't notice. Meanwhile, I'm a wreck.

In waking life, the woman reports feeling conflicted about ending a relationship with a man. She would like to renew it. Potential embarrassment is preventing her from doing so.

Dreams of losing teeth are often dreams of embarrassment or potentially embarrassing situations. The parallel waking experience could be summed up in the phrase "losing face" publicly.

Other possible teeth-loss dreams may come from physical sensations such as grinding your teeth or having particularly sensitive teeth.

That's not funny!
I swallowed my first tooth I lost.
I was so afraid that the Tooth Fairy wouldn't come.
Then I was afraid she would, and of how she was gonna get that tooth, LOL.

I dream a lot. I've never dreamed of teeth

Flying is my dream obsession, usually in building I know, I look down on them from the ceiling.

My nano novel - in final stages of editing - is about a woman who dreams.

 

[matriarch]

I rarely remember dreams. I can count on one hand the number of times I've remembered anything I've dreamed in the last 10 years.

 

[FatDino]

I would like to think that dreams mean something...something important and...and big. I always see myself as the heroine who saves the world in my dreams.

And that, too.

And that, too.

I suppose the fact that it's always good sex makes up for it being surreal at times.

Oh, wow, you should be in my dreams. They're so real and vivid they scare me sometimes.

eta: Once or twice, I could have sworn I woke up during an orgasm.

 

[cloudy]

Oh, wow, you should be in my dreams.

you mean I'm not?

 

[Vermilion]

i have recurring dreams about my teeth falling out.
It's always in public and everyone is watching me. 'apparently' it signifies insecurity.
Who knows.

Gorgeous, talk like this some more and you sure as hell will be in them tonight.

I think dreams occasionally mean something, but not all of them. If something is persistent, yeah, it probably has a theme that is working its way symbolically into a realization.

But sometimes it's just also that you think it means something and the thinking it means something persists.

I occasionally have realization dreams and even prophetic dreams, but I consider that they mean something only when I can actually GET what they're saying clearly.

Otherwise I consider it to be like this phenomena: Every night I'd wake up and look at the clock and think "It's THAT time again, I always wake up at THAT time." And I'd look around for reasons to be attached to that time. Chinese medicine believes if you wake at a certain time, it has a correlation to a body system. If you read "Amityville Horror" then it might make you believe that time is tied to an event.

It wasn't until I started recording those times consciously, that I realized...it was a different time every night, but in my dream-wake state, I was assuming they were all connected.

Heh. Funky stuff.

Or might it actually have something to do with ... teeth? I have on occasion dreamed of losing teeth. One or more that are either slightly loose or I can see and feel that I have cavities in them. Whithin minutes this have escalated to several crumbling and falling out, and the dream-me being slightly annoyed about it. (in my dreams , I never seem to get excessively upset about anything)

When do I dream of this? The night after discovering that I have a cavity, a lost filling or a chipping, and need to book a dentist appointment.

When I do my tax returns, I sometimes dream of getting it wrong and having the IRS come and take my sofa and toaster.

When I have a gig scheduled, or an important meeting at work, I sometimes dream of getting the time wrong and arriving two days later.

Of course, it could be about my fear of being loved, or something. But i preferr the Occam's Razor explanation - my mind picking up what was on my mind, and taking it for a spin because the rational part of me, and the sensory input to back rationality up, have both been shut off.

Dreams are the only place I get any sex lately.

I always like it when women tell me "In your dreams, mate". I tell them "Suits me."

 

[tickledkitty]

I have recurring dreams about school.

One is that I can't find my locker, and when I do find it, I can't remember the combination. Then I can't find my classroom. I can't remember which floor I'm on. I can't find my books and on and on.

Another is that I'm walking down the hallway naked or in my nightgown.

And another is that I'm about to graduate from college and find out I am missing a few credits. This one is the worst.

I just remembered another one. I dream that I am in a car that is moving, and I can't reach the pedals or the steering wheel because I appear to be in the back seat.

Hmm...Think maybe I feel my life is out of control?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I hate teeth dreams. I never have a perfect one in place of the lost one. It's always just a hole, or I'm holding the tooth in trying to figure out if I can find anyone to secure it (like a dentist, I don't go looking for mad scientists or anything like that).

Whenever I dream of sexaul activities, I still don't get laid. I even get rejected in my dreams

I can't rmember the last time I had a dream where I got laid, it's been so long.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I once had a dream where all my teeth got knocked out. I knew what it meant at the time but I can't remember now.

I believe dreams mean different things for each of us depending on what the things in the dream represent to us. We may have some common things occur and mean the same thing because we have a common culture. Anything more than that and I'm lost. (Personally, I like to visit with people who have died in my dreams. Nice to chat and catch up.)

 

[Liar]

Whenever I dream of sexaul activities, I still don't get laid. I even get rejected in my dreams

I have a lot of dreams where I'm not rejected per se. I'm with a fine one, and yeah, we both want to screw. It's pretty much a given, so we're in no hurry. Instead we look for a good place where we can be undisturbed. And I always wake up before we find one.

I am getting old now. In a couple of years I'll be heading into my thirties.

So thirties is old? LOL. No brownies for you.

I was so afraid that the Tooth Fairy wouldn't come.
Then I was afraid she would, and of how she was gonna get that tooth, LOL.

I did too! I was trying to 'fit it back in' to see how it went in and had come out. Only bad thing is: I was in the car, and my dad went over a bump. I'm lucky I didn't choke on it.

I had to write a letter to the tooth fairy explaining what an idiot I was.
