I've noticed that I've had a lot of recurring dreams, but one that I remember most vividly is my teeth falling out. In my dreams, I would nudge a tooth with my tongue and then it would become loose, and eventually fall out. I would get freaked out (because I like my teeth where they are) and then I'll nudge another tooth with my tongue, with would make another one loose, and in spite of my efforts to keep my teeth in place, they end up all falling out, and I have a smile resembling that of a jack-o-lantern. I get really frustrated in those dreams and I was wondering what it means. The dreams are quite realistic and I seem to be having the same teeth-losing dream quite frequently. Can anyone help me interpret what it might mean?------------------ ^^^Once bitten, twice shy^^^ ***The Vampire Annie*** IP: Logged |

I read in one site long ago, that teeth falling dreams means you have inhibitions, you are either shy, or have buried emotions. It can also mean the opposite - you may be talking too much.------------------ You are endless galaxies, you have seen but one star - Linda Goodman, Sun Signs IP: Logged |

Hello, Vampire Angel. Interesting ... a "vampire" loosing teeth.  Raj may have something. The teeth are tools that help us to digest by breaking up our food. It could be suggested that you are having difficulty understanding (unable to break down) something. Or it could be that you are feeling a loss of "power" due to a perceived lack of strength or confidence. There is some problem that is hindering the "outer" from becoming "inner". Also, it is suggested that perhaps you should watch your speech (tongue), as this could be facilitating what you perceive you are loosing. And there are sexual connotations to the symbols as well which could indicate a feeling of some "problem" in this area. Does any of this seem to apply? Let us know!   IP: Logged |

Hey Vampire Angel, It's so weird how people say they have recurring dreams. I never have recurring dreams. I remember when I was in 7th and 8th grade I was going through a really sad phase in my life, and I'm sorta still healing from it but the point is I used to have dreams like every single day. Now, not as much but like my dreams would never be the same. I think the messages were the same, but the dream were never the same. Consider your dreams really special.  Well the thing is, I replied because I've had dreams of my teeth falling out. So when I was wondering about what they meant I remember looking it up in a dream dictionary and it told me that I may have been insecure of my looks and I was afraid of what people thought of me. You may also have some inhibitions like Raj said. But mainly its about insecurity. -Starchild  IP: Logged |

Every once in a while I have those "teeth falling out" dreams too. I think those dreams are my least favorite  Great interpretations of the symbolism  IP: Logged |

Vampire Angel, be careful about ur health. Falling teeth and hair whitening are indications of illnesses. Dont want to scare u, but the numbers in both cases, indicate the severity of the illnesses. I have experienced such dreams and the consequence too. Sending u loads of white lite. Try praying, the power of prayer is enormous.Seeker

OK, I've thought about these interpretations--it's quite fascinating how an ordinary little dream could have such varied explanations. So I'll sort them through as best as I can:Hmm, I guess I could say I am sort of a shy person, and often insecure about myself--but being a teenager, that is nothing out of the ordinary. I wonder if a lot of teens have the same teeth-losing dream as me. Being a Saggie, (and having Saggie quite strong in my chart) I think it goes without saying I should watch what I say a lot more Although my Mars in Libra and Venus sextile Ascendant does smooth down my bluntness and adds some diplomacy to me.  As for the sickness...well, I did fall ill today, which is quite rare, in spite of my carelessness toward my health I never get sick, but I think it's because I had a bit too much sun yesterday (not good for a vampire, tsk) and was reading in a dim-lit and running car. Unless I have some well-hidden disease, I'm usually as healthy as a horse. :P So I think it probably means insecurity. In the dreams, I would get annoyed if anything by my teeth continuously falling out, and at one point I looked in the mirror and lamented the loss of teeth because it ruined my smile. So maybe it's insecurity about my appearance? Although usually, when I'm having good days, I feel quite confident about the way I look, as I don't suffer from the acne problems that plague most teenagers. I guess if we analyzed this in a Freudian style, it could have some underlying sexual implications, like the oral fixation thing? I'm not sure. I remember that in the past I've also had several dreams where I can't close my jaw...it would hang open and I would have extreme difficulty closing it--I would manage to grit my mouth shut only to have it spring open again, hanging open in a sometimes painful fashion. I would get frustrated because I had a feeling people were looking at me funny, and continuously would try to close my gaping jaw. And I've also had dreams where I want to say something, but find that I have extreme difficulty getting the words out. I think these are somewhat common dreams. What do you all think? ------------------ ^^^Once bitten, twice shy^^^ ***The Vampire Annie*** IP: Logged |

Hello, Vampire Angel, and all!I, too, have dreamt of my teeth falling out, only my dream was: I bent over, and literally SPIT my teeth - all of them - into my hand. It was very realistic and quite disturbing! I remember waking up and running my tongue over all my teeth, just to make sure they really were still there! I think my dream stemmed from the fact that my own mother had all her teeth pulled when I was very young, so all my life I remember Mom with no teeth!

Vampire Angel - Those themes suggest the inability to express yourself (trouble speaking) and possibly anger which is unexpressed (tight jaw) perhaps due to an inability to express (open mouth). What do you think?  IP: Logged |

Well, I consider myself a fairly good communicator, and I do love speaking and communicating...sometimes I do get frustrated when I trip over my tongue or can't find the right words for what I feel about a subject. But maybe it's because I'm more preoccupied with self-expression than other people are, I don't know.------------------ ^^^Once bitten, twice shy^^^ ***The Vampire Annie*** IP: Logged |

dear annie, i've also had (too) many similar teeth dreams in the past few years, so have spent some time struggling with this theme. they seem to come in clusters, and once accompanied a particularly vivid and horrifying dream of my hair falling out in painful blistering clumps as a result of "environmental damage". after this i started to note with even more stringency what i put into my body (through my mouth and past my guardian teeth) and also spending less time in the sun and monitoring other environmental hazards like chemicals in cosmetics, etc. this was one twist to these dreams. as for the others, i feel for me at least that it's not so much as Ra suggested - a "problem that is hindering the 'outer' from becoming 'inner'" - as the other way around. i feel often that my true inner self is being either falsely perceived or not perceived at all by those around me, and this is frustrating to my soul. i also agree with the general "feeling a loss of control" in your life synopsis, as well as fearing for one's physical appearance. these are harsh realities of our 3-D existence. but to both of these explanations my heart responds that in truly following a spiritual path both of these situations are to be OVERCOME and not rectified. do you understand this feeling? perhaps grappling with the universe for control is limiting, and perhaps worrying over physical appearance is taking strength from working on the inner/outer journey that is the truth of our being here and now. i have also felt generally challenged in the area of the throat chakra, with emotions, speaking my truth, "walking my talk". have you also? i believe this is not a coincidence. as for saying too much, that's up to you to decide. who are you talking to, and why? what is it you are trying to get across? what goal are you trying to reach? are you trying to prove something to someone (or yourself)? as i said before, are you trying to tell uncomprehending people in flat and unheard words (or through your behavior) who you truly are ? thanks for bringing this topic to my mind once again. ------------------ namaste, xelena IP: Logged |
