Pulling Teeth Out Dream Meaning
What does it mean to pull teeth out in a dream?
Because teeth are about communication in most of my books, it can mean some difficulties in communication. I believe that this dream is about repair of a relationship for some of you. If you have read some of my other dream meanings I have said time and time again that teeth are about how we connect with people, our own energy. I do think this dream is good so don't worry. I often see a new job or something good happen after this dream.
I want to let you know that this dream is positive, it is about finding the truth, and clearing energy. I do think this dream is about making sure that you don’t worry too much. The other important thing that needs to be considered is if the dream was vivid or just a normal dream, the feeling of the dream is important to consider. The more real the dream the more powerful the meaning.
What is the spiritual meaning of a dream of pulling teeth out?
You may have dreamed of pulling a few teeth out or maybe all your teeth out. Teeth coming out per say (if you read my other dream meanings) can mean that you feel you are losing control, but I think there is a deeper meaning here. I also think this dream is about how you communicate, it is about vibrations in life and of the other planes. I feel that the dream is about how we make a living, how we get educated and how we communicate as humans.
What does it mean to dream of pulling all your teeth out?
If you pull all your teeth out yourself, it can mean ending a relationship, job, habit or old belief. I do think this is connected to the air element spiritually. The reason I say this is because it could be blocked communication, to some degree. Maybe you are in no contact with someone: soul mate or a twin flame. This is a sign I think that communication will be better than it was before.
If you are pulling out only a few teeth then this is about action and a miracles, so something powerful may change in your situation. If it hurts to remove the teeth in a dream this is about watching what you are doing in waking life. I also have seen that this is about watching corruption to some degree.
An Egyptian dream book more than 3,000 years old called the Chester Beatty papyrus lists teeth falling out as a bad sign of the death or loss of a family member, I don’t think this is true and is quite worrying that it says this. In comparison, the Greek book, says that teeth represent people in your household. Therefore, we can assume that the loss of teeth meant losing people or things.
What if the teeth were healthy?
Pulling out healthy teeth may signify the green light of funnelling something important to you. Consider whether you are giving up on something too soon or worrying yourself too much.
It may also indicate that you feel pressure to change when you aren't ready.
What does it mean to dream of a dentist pulling out your teeth?
This is about having the skills and talent to overcome obstacles if you see yourself in a dentist chair. In my spiritual work I believe this is about not being stuck in the past, it is more about the fact that you could be longing for good times in your life again. When life becomes good again it will be better than the sweet times in your life. The details of this dream are important in that there is victory. If the dentist was female in the dream this is normally in my view about speaking your own truth and having faith and trust.
What if the teeth were rotten and you pulled them out?
I think this is about feeling frustrated to some degree, the rotting teeth is something that is blocked and longing for sweet things and dreams to come true. If you are at the dentist and the teeth are being repaired after being pulled this can indicate that something important is soon going to happen. I always find allot of things happening when rotten teeth appear, a bit like something will release and with that go through some sort of renewal.
Is this dream of pulling out teeth good or bad?
I know, I have described that Egyptians and Greeks believed teeth dreams were insane warnings of bad stuff, but most modern spiritual work take them as signs of change rather than doom. But my view, is that this is about something unsolved in communication that will work out. There is going to be something that will happen and it will turn in a way that you have not expected.
Summary
To dream of pulling your teeth can indicate cleansing, warning and transformation would suit this dream. In ancient Egypt and Greece, teeth represented family and loss. In my spiritual work this dream shows inner clearing, and I think is positive.
