TEETH FALLING OUT

What does it mean for teeth to fall out in a dream?

I dreamed that my teeth were falling out. In real life, my teeth are perfectly all right even though I'm 39 years old. Why should I have this dream?

TEETH FALLING OUT DREAM

Psychological Meaning: Dreaming of teeth falling out may represent insecurity. These dreams often occur at a time of transition between one phase of life and another. When we lost our milk teeth, we also gradually lost our childhood innocence. Loosing your teeth therefore show that today you have similar feelings of uncertainty and self-consciousness as you did in childhood. The dream could also highlight your worries about getting older or your sexual attractiveness.

Animal teeth may represent aggressiveness and false teeth may represent concern about your self-image. The dream could also be triggered by subtle toothache that you are not yet consciously aware of.

TEETH FALLING OUT DREAM INTERPRETATION
ASK YOURSELF:

1. Do I feel insecure because I'm starting a new phase of life? Katie's dream may highlight her worries about soon reaching 40.

2. Am I facing reality? Dreams about loosing teeth may represent a retreat to the innocent times when you were a toothless baby and dependent for nourishment on your mother's milk.

LOSS OF TEETH DREAM

Mystical Meaning: The Nilotes of the Sudan believe that if a woman has a toothy grin it is a bad omen. It symbolises the mouth of a wild animal that will frighten the cattle and superstitious lore insists that maidens with a wide smile be made beautiful by having their front teeth removed. An African witchdoctor would therefore interpret dreams about losing teeth as a sign of prosperity.
