Rotten teeth
We live in a world where good looks are highly valued and having straight, pearly white teeth is important in conveying that beauty. Afterall, if models and celebrities didn't have the colgate smile ... we'd all be a little, or very put off!
Often when I dream... I can dream about all sorts of things from flying, to people I don't know doing strange things, to people I do know doing strange things, to people morphing into each other. Sometimes I dream about strange morbid things like ghosts, monsters, my own death and I've even dreamt of someone, presumably Jesus dying on the cross outside my bedroom window!!! Any how, I often also dream about my teeth falling out!
It's the wierdest thing ever, and you would think it's such a wierd dream to have but it's more common than most people think. Most recently when I had this dream on Sunday morning, I remember the front of my teeth were gone. The wisdom teeth were all loose and ready to fall out just like when you have your baby teeth that are ready to fall out. When I spat into my palm, teeth would fall out... and the sensation of all these teeth falling out and broken against my soft gums was painful. I couldn't speak properly and it was just such an uncomfortable feeling. I even remember looking at myself and there was a black gaping hole in the front of my teeth!!! I woke up in a sweat because the dream was so vivid and so real. I had to check if my teeth were still all there by running my tongue against my pearly whites to make sure they're still intact!
The feeling of your teeth falling out is such a disturbing feeling. As an adult, you wouldn't want your teeth to fall out because it's presents such an awful image. As a child, it's ok, because that's the process you go through to get to maturity. But as an adult, if your teeth are falling out, you got problems mate!
There are many interpretations to what this particular dream means... but I think it's a load of rubbish! I googled "dreaming about teeth falling out" and the general consensus of what this dream means is:
Fear of death and growing old: Well it's not like I fear getting old... but I don't particularly want to grow old.
Symbol of powerlessness: Perhaps in the workplace referring to someone specifically beginning with the letter L. So anyway, my boss is going to speak to Mrs. L. to see if something can be done about the situation since I brought up the issue AGAIN. (Insider story for those who know what's going on!)
Fear of change: Well... no I'm not afraid of change. Sometimes I wish things would change!
Fear of failure or embarrassment: Hmm... perhaps... failing in some of the things that I've been doing. They haven't been up to the standard that I would have hoped.
Poor health and financial stability: Well, poor health. You got that right... of course I have poor health! I don't even exercise, I eat carbs like I drink water and... I sit in front of the computer slaving away for 8 hours + a day! What kind of health condition do you think I would be in! Financial stability, well I just got my final HECS debt and well, the amount I owe doesn't look good!
The point of this post: I just wanted to share about my awful dream and wonder if anyone else has such morbid dreams as I do... or do I have a really demented physco world inside my head?!
