Losing your teeth in a dream?

Anyone had a dream where the over riding theme was losing your teeth? I heard its a pretty common subject in dreams and has to do with fear of change or losing control?
It was entirely creepy... I could feel my teeth loose in my dream and to make it even worse I remember thinking to myself in my dream "you have to be dreaming, no... this is real."
Thats the closest thing I have had to a nightmare in ages. Totally creepy. UGHHH. |

Yeah, I've had heaps of dreams where my teeth fall out. Or I just brush up against them with my hand, and they're all loose and ed.
Apparently it's a very common theme, like you said. I hold all relevance to it, in regards to 'some kind of deeper meaning' though. |

Yea my reason I think is I been chugging lots of coke lately, and I forget to wash my mouth out with mouthwash or I'll forget to brush one night. Also I hurt a tooth a few weeks back by trying to open a bottle with my teeth... Its fine now, but at the time it felt a bit loose! :nervous: |

That's probably the reason then.
There are so so so so many theories on what dreams are, but I still hold to the most prevalent theory from when I was studying Psych.
Basically, when you're asleep, your brain is uncontrolled (you're unconscious). Your brain is still running though, or you would die. The brain is firing off in all kinds of directions, and hitting all kinds of areas of the brain: Memory - Vision, sound, touch, taste, whatever.
While this happens, the rest of your brain is just doing what it's built for. Specifically, to take large amounts of stimulus and put it together into a meaningful flow. To make sense of it. A story, if you like. |

| Yeah I get them sometimes too, and even more frequently times where a tooth is maybe just a little loose, and sometimes where I get that same sensation of pulling it out as a kid. |

Yea, I've never put any meaning into dreams. Most of the time they are just fun distractions, though some can be depressing. I have very lucid like dreams where it often feels like I have a sense of control in them. They are almost always grounded in very realistic situations and realistic settings. Hardly have the "flying around" dreams. Which is why this one was particularly disturbing. :p
Most of the time my dreams are about a certain want or specific, easily quantifiable need, or something that has not crossed my active mind for a while. |

It's a common dream to have when you have stress or worries on the mind.
I have always had teeth dreams (loose teeth, cracking teeth, falling out teeth, missing teeth, etc.) at times when I had negative on my mind - mostly worries about failures irl. |

I still have them occasionally. Sometimes they're so bad I wake up and have to physically check my teeth are still there.
But then, I still regularly have nightmares. |

| I use to get those types of dreams all the time. It's usually related to being concerned about your health. When I had gall stones I had those types of dreams almost daily. Since I've had my gall bladder removed I haven't had a single dream like that. |

| The meaning is obviously that you want to suck more and bigger cock. |
