“Why did I dream about my teeth falling out?”
You may have dreamed that your teeth fell out while you were sleeping due to changes in your life. You might feel a sense of loss, betray or insecurity which is leading to some anxiety. These feelings may be self-imposed or be caused by your environment and relationships.
This common dream can feel so real and so personal that you feel that it’s actually happening. Fortunately, when you woke up, everything was intact.
Let’s go a little deeper into the meaning behind seeing teeth in your dream as well as common scenarios.
Losing Teeth vs Tooth
Some people have dreamed that all of their teeth have fallen out, while on the other hand, some people dream of losing an individual tooth. This is despite being fully grown adults.
The meaning behind both is different. That is – the dream interpretation of whole teeth represents bigger issues than one single tooth.
Whole Teeth
Our teeth are necessary for our existence. Chances are that if you dreamt about all of them falling out, then this is due to a lack of personal power or strength in your everyday life. You or others may perceive you as weak and vulnerable to a total loss.
Ask yourself: Am I experiencing something which has been worrying me a lot lately?
It’s time to start paying close attention to the bigger picture in your life as you are getting older while stepping into a more confident version of yourself.
Individual Teeth
Despite being an adult, you may have experienced an individual tooth falling out. This could mean that you are resistant to let go of the little things in your life with a fear of loss. Alternatively, you’re not as rigid as you may seem on the surface.
Ask yourself: What are the small yet noticeable issues which I’m not paying attention to?
As you may neglect the small things which can have larger consequences well into the future.
