Dreams About Teeth
Ever have a dream about your teeth falling out? Well, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common dreams people have, but why?
In today’s self-conscious world, appearances are everything. More than anything else, your teeth represent your outward appearance. That’s OK, it doesn’t mean you’re vain – it’s natural these days. Flashing a smile is one of the most attractive things people do, and your smile garners alot of attention.
All of the interpretations relating to your teeth or losing a tooth revolve around insecurities. To dream of losing your teeth or having them damaged implies that you’re uncomfortable with some part of your body. Whether it’s your weight, a mole, or obviously your smile – it’s a self conscious problem.
Dreaming about your teeth could also mean you have a fear of failing at something, or getting embarassed. You’re insecure about a particular situation or someone is making you feel uncomfortable.
There are also cultural myths to contemplate. Ancient Chinese say that telling lies will make your teeth fall out, so are you being untruthful about something? The Greeks say that rotten or missing teeth indicates a family member is near death. Some religions suggest you could be putting your faith in something or someone other than God.
But not always so doom and gloom, if you’re a small child then you might be looking foward to getting some money from the Tooth Fairy – so as we always say, it really depends on your backround and what’s going on in your life.
