I was lying in bed with my eyes closed about to go to sleep
when I passed my tongue over my teeth and I felt a broken tooth. I started feeling around my mouth with my
tongue and as I touched my teeth they broke and crumbled. I started spitting out bits of broken
tooth. The more I investigated with my
tongue the more they broke until I all I could feel was the sharp edges of
broken tooth and the smooth gum tissue where my teeth used to be. This entire time, everything was pitch black,
all dark. It was a totally tactile
experience. I felt mounting anxiety and
terror as the upper teeth on the right side disintegrated and fell out. I woke up but it was hard to tell where the
dream ended and reality began. I had awoken in the middle of the night, so it
was still dark. I wasn’t all that sure I
was dreaming, until I realized my teeth were still in my mouth.
Interpretation:
Having teeth fall out and break can symbolize a loss of
friendships or relationships, waning vitality, insecurity, and especially
anxiety. It also connects to the process
of growing up/changing, starting a new phase of life, or a radical change going
from old to new. It can also represent concern
with self image. And is symbolic of
one’s words/what one says. Perhaps
you’ve misspoken?
Darkness or a lack of imagery can indicate fear of people,
emotions, thoughts, actions, and situations that are not understood by the
dreamer. It can also mean secrets and a
need to become more aware. To be in the
dark is to be without wisdom, knowledge, or insight; it is coming into contact
with your fears.
