Dreams with Teeth

In reality you use your teeth to eat your food, and speak your words. Teeth also figure prominently in your appearance.

Here’s some information about teeth as per Wikipedia – Your ability to chew food affects the quality of your life. The teeth play a major role in speech. Lack of teeth can result in “social insecurity”.

The basic meaning of teeth in your dream is to take good care of them, they’re very important!

Teeth Chomping into Dreams: The symbolic meaning.

A good set of teeth may represent:

• How well you can nourish yourself, both mentally and physically.
• How well you are speaking.
• How well you look.

A poor set of teeth could represent:

• Being unable to nourish yourself, to get what you need.
• Being unable to speak and be understood properly.
• Concern with not looking good.

Teeth falling out:

This is definitely a message from your subconscious saying, “Let me have your attention please!”

When the dream is about words in some way, shape, or form it signifies:

• Regret for words you said, and perhaps wish you didn’t.
• Words you didn’t say, and perhaps wish you did.
• Anxiety about speaking your mind or public speaking.
• Being unable to speak the way you’d like to for some reason.
• Perhaps you’re having trouble speaking what’s on your mind to someone, although you’d really like to.
• Misunderstanding: Is something you said creating problems because it was totally misunderstood?

When this dream is about nourishing yourself mentally, physically or emotionally:

When you don’t have any teeth you are unprepared to nourish yourself. Perhaps you aren’t getting everything you need in order to present yourself properly to others? This is about the ability to do what needs to be done, and do it well. You might be subconsciously worried that you’re going to look really bad, or you’re going to sound really dumb.

When the dream is about appearance:

There are many ways to look bad. How you appear to others involves your whole persona, not just your physical looks. When you lose your teeth in a dream and you believe you’re worried about how you look, remember to take the best care of yourself that you can. Who you are on the inside is way more important than how you appear on the outside.

An example dream:

I watched someone’s dentures fall out as they were speaking to me. The dentures landed in an ugly brown mud puddle. In reality I found out that this person was in the habit of not telling the truth. Their word was “mud”, not worth much. Also interesting that I dreamed “false” teeth to symbolize falsehood. In reality they are still in possession of their natural teeth.

As always, I hope I’ve given you something you can sink your teeth into that will help you understand your personal dream messages. Happy dreaming!
