Growing up, I was always told that dreaming of teeth falling out meant something bad was going to happen. It’s a common belief passed down over time all around the world, so it’s no surprise people feel down after having that kind of dream.
I’ve been interpreting dreams for almost twenty years now. When I first started, I read a lot of old dream books and journals from famous and regular dream interpreters. Everyone agrees those dreams can mean failure or trouble coming. However, all the interpreters mentioned that what it means depends on how you feel about your teeth and how important they are to you. Here’s what this dream really means.
New You
Your teeth in dreams represent your identity and how you see yourself. Teeth are one of the first things people notice about you when meeting for the first time, so it’s no surprise everyone wants a nice smile.
When your teeth fall out in a dream, it could mean something from your past that’s no longer useful is leaving your life. You may be letting go to make room for something new. Many think dreaming about losing teeth means a “new you” is coming or a fresh start.
This change could be small, like changing your hairstyle or moving to another country. Or it might involve getting fit through exercise to help tone up or lose weight.
Good Luck
According to many cultures, dreaming about losing teeth is a sign of good luck and positive news heading your way. When I was a kid and lost a tooth, my mom said to put it under my pillow before bed. She said the tooth fairy would come in the night and make my wish come true. We don’t know where that idea started. But I’ve heard it so many times.
Even though superstitions may not be based in reality, I think there’s usually a reason these kinds of things get passed down. Even if parts are made up, old tales usually have at least a little bit of truth to them somewhere.
Pregnancy
Dreaming about teeth falling out can sometimes mean pregnancy for women. It’s thought that just like a tooth growing in your mouth, a new life is growing in your belly. Losing teeth is kind of like giving birth.
Old dream dictionaries say this dream isn’t really predicting pregnancy. It’s more like informing a woman that she’s already pregnant or encouraging her not to give up, since the chances of her getting pregnant are good.
Wedding
Losing teeth in a dream can represent a long-term relationship since teeth are meant to stay in your mouth for a long time. Some old dream books say it means you’ll marry someone you’ve known for a very long time, someone you can’t picture life without.
The tooth falling out is believed to show moving forward with that relationship and strengthening your bond even more. Dreams usually just give information, not predictions. So, if this is a recurring dream, it may be a sign it’s time for you and your partner to think about getting married. The act of the tooth falling represents a big change, in this case, tying the knot with that person.
Why Are Teeth Dreams So Common?
Teeth are something most people are really aware of. Dreams about teeth are probably one of the most common types of dreams. This might be because teeth play a big role in our lives – we use them to chew our food and brush them every day. Also, they are part of how we look, and people notice our teeth when we smile.
Teeth dreams are so common because teeth are the part of the body people care the most about. While teeth help us eat and talk, they can also cause a lot of pain. No wonder toothaches are said to be one of the worst pains, which is why teeth are one of the most common symbols that millions of people see in their dreams every night.
