Help - Dreaming that your teeth fall out?

[smudge]

Last night I dreampt the my four top front teeth fell out whilst I was in company. Not only did I look hideous, It was a terrifying dream & has given me the hump all day, tho' I'd still like to know the meaning - whatever it is?

[smudge]

By the way, they were my own & not gumshields! :-)

A dream dictionary I once owned said that teeth falling out menas betrayal by a loved one. (i've had this dream and it is REALLY horrid!)

[smudge]

Cheers FTVS, hubby is in the kitchen cooking the dinner at the moment - so I'll ask him if he's been up to anything today! He'd say he hasn't the energy or the inclination to betray me, so I wonder who that could be? Watch this space!!

Hey smudge :o)
Here is a good site to interpret any more of your dreams although, when dreams are interpreted, it is pretty basic as it is all down to the individual but at least you get a rough guide - I wouldn't shoot your husband just yet ;oP

Yep: this is a very common dream - I have it atleast once a month unfortunately.

Some sources say that it means that you regret something you said. Others say that it reflects some sort of uncertainty in your life.

What ever it is, it seems significant especially due to the fact that whoever has this dream notes that no blood or gore is involved when the teeth fall out - they just seem to crumble out.

I personally think that it happens if your mouth is open during sleep and your teeth get cold and start to hurt - it comes off as falling out in a dream

Yes beenee, I have had many dreams like this before too & they are only usually when my mind is a bit troubled. I've started Yoga so maybe this will help?!

Incidentally, why was my question 'EDITED BY ANSWERBANK'? Surely it wasn't that scarey - was it?

I had this dream the other night but it was after reading this question and the various answers. Although I do have nefarious thoughts and am coming upto a major decision in my life.

I was once told that dreams about losing teeth were related to deaths of family members.

Personally, I'm with Beenee - I think your physical situation can affect your dreams. If you happen to be grinding your teeth in your sleep (as I do) I think this often translates into dreamspiel. (For instance - have you ever dreamed for ages about going to the toilet, and woken up bursting ?)

[smudge]

Hi Trillipse - Can't believe I've received another answer after over 2 years - so thanks for that!

[Trillipse]

Smudge - thought that might amuse you. I clearly live in a different time zone...

I came across your question while i was offered similar ones to one i was putting up, and liked it.

How are you sleeping these days?

[smudge]

I'm not sleeping too bad lately, thank you Trillipse - I listen to my story tapes every night & soon nod off - it's the waking up in the early hours that I'm not too keen on!

My dentist has also made me a little gumshield to stop me grinding my teeth in my sleep. It's pretty good - when I remember to wear it!

I hope you are well.

Hope you are well.

[smudge]

Whoops, I'd already asked if you were well, then typed it again - must be tired, he, he!

[Trillipse]

i too have a gumshield-type insert! and am less than diligent in using it!

Smudge, sorry to intrude on you thread about unrelated stuff, but - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???

I've been thinking about you a lot over the last couple of days, wondering if you are OK! Someone called out in Chatterbank for you today too.

I hope all is well, if I don't talk to you, have a fantastic Christmas (and a relaxing one) and I hope 2006 brings you much happiness :)

xx

Ah bless you Dakota - really nice of you to think of me.

Well, the reason I haven't been on Answerbank, is mainly because our eldest daughter has just started her 2nd course of 14 iron transfusions twice a week at the local hospital (the last course was 2 years ago) & I have been looking after our youngest Granddaughter.

Also, the same daughter had arranged a joint party on Sunday 4th Dec' for her two daughter's 6th & 3rd birthdays, but had to call the Doctor in the night before, as the 6 year old had a temperature of 103! She was diagnosed with tonsilitis & an ear infection & has been very poorly ever since. She hasn't eaten a morsel since Friday either - only sips of water, as her throat & tongue are too sore.

The party was cancelled at the last minute & will be resheduled for some time in January. We still went over to our daughter & son-in-law's, along with a few other relatives, to give the girls their presents, but our poorly Granddaughter slept the whole time. The 3 year old thought us being there was her party, so we made the most of it for her! We also didn't want all the prepared food & two birthday cakes to go to waste!

I've also had to cancel the little heart procedure I was having done on the 15 Dec, as my daughter isn't feeling too good & I felt it best all round. (I've resheduled that until 4th Feb 06)!

I've only been on to AB today, because I'd rec'd a few notification e-mails. No doubt I'll be back soon though - please give my love to all concerned! -xx-

Sorry - that was rather long winded - but so much has been going on lately!
