At Dream Moods, they say that dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams they receive there. Huh. Who knew? They give several possible interpretations, including:
- "Dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you."
- "Falling teeth dreams may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety."
- "The loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion."
Another dream I have a lot is that I'm trying to go somewhere but I just can't get all my shit together. I'm in a rush and it's very important and I'm gathering gathering gathering everything but I just can't get it all together.
That wasn't one of their common dreams that I could look up on the site, but I found these things:
- To dream that you feel frustrated, represents your difficulty in coping with a situation in your daily life. It may reflect your concerns that your life is not going in the direction you want.
- To see or carry baggage in your dream, refers to the problems and things that you are carrying on your shoulders and weighing your down. It may also be symbolic of your identity.
The other common dreams listed on the site include naked dreams, chase dreams, falling dreams, flying dreams and test dreams. And let's not forget naked test dreams. I've actually not had any of these with any regularity. I had a friend in high school who had flying dreams - dreams that she could fly like a bird high in the sky. I never had one of those, but then I've always been a bit afraid of heights.
What recurring dreams do you have?

How odd! I occasionally have the teeth falling out dream too and they're exactly like you described. I also have the dream where I'm late and trying to get somewhere but seem to be prohibited at every turn. I'm frustrated and can't seem to get going. I used to have the flying dream but it was where I was trying to get somewhere or away from somewhere and I ended up swimming through the air.
I've only had the "late" dream lately; the others? Not so much for awhile.
I've never had any of the naked or flying dreams. For a while, though, I had one where I was visiting someone in the hospital, but I couldn't see who it was and they wouldn't respond, like they were in a coma or something. It reallllly freaked me out. Oh, but I always have the falling dream. I'm guessing that signifies something worse than the flying one!
I've had the teeth dreams and they are usually when I am completely stressed out. Also, they can be a good indication that you are grinding your teeth in your sleep (at least, that's me.)
My most common is the flying dream. When things aren't going well, I either can't get off the ground or can't control it. When I feel like I've got my life crap together, those dreams are absolutely amazing.
Janabelle, Dream Moods says the falling dream is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. Feeling overwhelmed and out of control. They say that contrary to popular myth, you won't die if you don't wake up before you hit the ground!
Jenn, I have been known to grind my teeth in my sleep but it hadn't occurred to me that that might be related to the teeth-falling-out dream.
