Ever Had That Dream?

Ever had that dream when your teeth all fall out?  I had that dream last night.  I was pregnant in the dream and I couldn't remember who the father of the baby was.  So, I was searching and searching, in the dream, for my husband (who I kept thinking was that guy from Lie To Me.  That is what I get for watching that show right before bed time).  While in my travels, all my teeth fell out and were replaced by brand new teeth. 

I have had the teeth falling out dream many many times.  I've always wondered what it means because I often remember my dreams when I dream about the teeth falling out.  So, today I looked it up.  Apparently, it can mean all sorts of things! 

I'm choosing to believe it means this one...

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.

This next phase in my life is the having two children phase.  I imagine that it is very different from having just the one.  I know that I feel a little nervous about baby number two, but Matt and I are both very grateful for this upcoming baby boy.

So, stop haunting me 'teeth falling out dreams!'  I get it!

I've never had teeth fall out, but I've had dreams where my teeth go crooked again. It's the worst. My dreams are usually way cool.

So funny! Yes, I've had teeth falling out dreams. In one I was a donkey. I had my jaw clenched and my upper teeth were stuck to my lower teeth. When I tried to unclench my jaw all my teeth shattered and fell out. I, too, looked it up and it said that sometimes teeth dreams can represent stubbornness. I was in a donkey's body AND my teeth fell out. That's some serious stubbornness going on! I'm sure you'll handle two kids like a charm. (Sorry for the novel) :)

Having two is definitely different than one and a BIG transition. Hopefully your teeth stop falling out in your dreams after the baby gets here. :)

I've had teeth falling out dreams most of my life. Could it be genetic? However, now I'm glad that I wasn't a donkey when my teeth fell out. That's too funny Deanne. Anyway thanks for looking it up Becky. Now I know what it means.

I have teeth falling out dreams all the time! I hate it. I also have dreams where I have something in my mouth, like gum, and when I try to spit it out, there's more in there. So I take some more out and then there's even more in there. I wonder what that means.
