Teeth Dreams

In the years that I have been researching and analyzing dreams I have found that the most common dreams involve teeth. Most commonly dreams about teeth involve them either falling out, rotting, or crumbling with the dreamer powerless to stop it. These dreams are understandably very troubling and will often leave the dreamer shaken for some time after waking.

There are several common interpretations for these dreams, depending on your own situation one of these may apply to you. Please look at our dream interpretation dictionary for a more detailed review of the significance of teeth in dreams.

Teeth are often seen as a symbol of power and aggression. So to dream that you are losing your teeth can be a sign that you are feeling powerless over something in your life. These dreams are very common when dealing with an unwanted change.

Teeth are also a symbol of physical attractiveness, youth, and good health. Dreaming that your teeth are rotting or falling out could be caused by anxiety over how others perceive you or about your health. They could also be a reflection of waking fears over embarrassment or performing in social situations.

The last common interpretation for these dreams is a more literal interpretation of teeth as they relate to communication. Many who have these dreams have reported that the dreams were caused by anxiety over keeping secrets or guilt for telling lies or spreading rumors.

As always your dreams and their meanings are unique to you so their interpretation will depend on what is going on in your waking life.
