What Does It Mean If You Dream Your Teeth Are Falling Out?
Teeth dreams and specifically teeth falling out are among the most common dream themes.
Whether your teeth start to crumble and decay of their own accord, or whether you touch them slightly and they feel loose in your mouth, we have all had this dream at some time or another.
However your teeth make their exit from your mouth, there is always a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness that accompanies the loss of your smile.
The simple meaning is: 'are you overdue for a visit to the dentist'. If not, your dream may have one of several symbolic meanings.
Since teeth are essential for chewing food, they can symbolise your 'bite on life', the degree to which you feel foreceful or decisive. Loose teeth could therefore indicate the need for you to have a more positive attitude.
Do you need to 'get your teeth' into something?l Or maybe you need to 'chew things over' with somebody who can helpy you cope more effectively. Weak or wobbly teeth can also suggest that you have bitten off more than you can chew.
Losing your teeth often represents a concern about how you appear to others. Is there a situation in which you feel you have failed to project a good self-image?
Since babies have no teeth, your dream may be warning you about an immature attitude. An alternative interpretation is based on the fact that losing your teeth has, until recently been associated with old age. In this case, the dream indicates a hidden fear of growing older.
Teeth have traditionally been compared to battlements guarding the entrance to our private, inner world. Losing them can therefore represent a fear of letting down your defences and exposing your true feelings.
