I constantly have a dream of losing my teeth! It has been reoccuring. Do you have any idea what this means? Where can I go, or what can I read to understand these weird dreams?

Dreaming - Dreams are a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
From what I have learned, dreaming of losing teeth usually means the following: 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. I have broken a couple of teeth in the past. Each time I had previously dreamed that my teeth were falling out of my mouth and dropping into a large tin can I was holding??Here is a link to an online dream interpreter. http://www.dreammoods.com/Hope this is helpful. Blessed be, Mari

peaceful garden - just plain pretty. makes you feel calm.
I just got a text message about this not an hour ago how funny is that. The exact message stated: Text:LIMBO: If you dream of losing your teeth, you are still anxious about a recent decision or event. So tell us what has had you anxious lately they say talking about the things that bother you and decisions that you make can help you not have strange dreams and you may find your answer. Plus it always makes for a great discussion.

In dream symbolism this is supposed to mean [B]an impending loss of prestige situation.[/B].The subconscious "thinks" in symbols, rather than "words" like the conscious mind.It -the subconscious mind- gives Logic the go by,that is why you have crazy looking and weird things happening to us in dreams. Dreams could just be an enactment in symbolic terms the contradictions(unresolved realities) of the waking life, they could be precognitive, or when they tend to repeat a theme,then they could be trying to bring memories of a Past Life. Psychologists as rationalist scientists would restrict the "past life" to childhood memories whereas some professionals amomg them, who have stepped out of this restrictive role have extended this "past" to include lifetimes previously lived. You are free to choose your interpretation in the ligt of your religious upbringing if any.

True. Not all dreams have meaning. Some are so silly that they are merely the mind's way of having some relaxation by letting go of the necessity to be logical and sensible. But this is a standard theme as classified in the Interpretation of Dreams. That is, why I posted what I did. But if it occurs too randomly and unconnectedly then it is point less.Likewise, as I said not all dreams are precognitive. Not all persons are blessed(cursed) with precognitive dreams. However the meaning of dream is culture, religion and language specific.One must keep this in mind too. But there are some idioms which are more or less the same across cultures. These are mainly the ones where the idioms are connected with some part of the Anatomy.

do you believe that all dreams have meaning though? Because some dreams just seem pointless.

LOL I don't think dreaming of this means you don't take care of your teeth..WTF. I think you're looking too much into it, really. I don't think all dreams mean something, and this could just be another one of those weird dreams. Goodness knows you have a lot of those weird dreams; and thankfully none of them have come true or anything.

I have heard the meaning to dreams concerning losing your teeth. It's not suppose to be a good dream at all. That someone in the family is going to pass away. I don't believe this because I have had this dream numerous times and no one in my family has passed away after I had this dream.
