Teeth DreamsTeeth falling out
Even though this is a universal dream found in all cultures, it can still have a
variety of meanings.
Our teeth are the hardest part of our body. They are a weapon and a tool and they
cannot be put back. All of this makes the teeth a very important symbol. Your job is to
work out what the dream teeth are symbolizing.
Beware, not all tooth dreams are symbolic. Once
in a while a tooth dream is telling you to get yourself to the dentist's chair.
Rather than have a blanket answer for all the billion human beings on this
planet,
consider these questions:
- How did my teeth fall out?
- What is the consequence?
- What is the emotion?
- What phrase or saying fits best for your teeth in this
dream?
- Confirm that this is symbolic:

Bitten off more than you can chew?
Toothless?

Have you had a "falling out" with someone? |
| Confirm that this is symbolic: |
Almost always when you dream about a body part it has symbolic meaning.
But, just to be safe, ask yourself if perhaps this is not symbolic at all and really your
dream life is telling you to go to the dentist!
Sometimes a bad tooth is just a bad tooth! |
These answers will help you to ground the dream in your own meaning. Of course there is
something universal about teeth falling out -- it happens everywhere -- but that is only a
piece of the jig-saw puzzle about what it meant in your dream. Consider the fact that a US
$5 bill is the same every where in the world but what you can buy with it will be quite
different in Manchester, Mozambique and Manhattan.
