Teeth Dreams - Teeth Falling Out Dream Meaning

From falling out, crumbling, spitting, moldy, rotten, broken through to disfigured teeth dreams, I will cover all the meanings here.

Horrified, you might have dreamed your teeth falling out. Perhaps a whole section of your mouth becomes toothless and bleeding by the time you're done spitting it out. It's hard to believe that this is happening in your dream and you don't know what to do. A person who is stuck in a stressful job might have nightmares about their teeth falling out or losing financial security. A woman who is in an abusive relationship will be more susceptible to dreams of repetitive tooth loss dreams, which include severe bleeding and gaping wounds. Sigmund Freud, the famous dream psychologist believed that dreams about losing teeth are a symbolism of how we feel in life. Freud believed that teeth being lost indicates change and that we are feeling oppressed.

The lack of chewing in our society has changed the shape of our teeth, due to evolution. Most cooked food is soft, for example, mashed potatoes, chocolates, yogurts, eggs. Therefore, we only spend on average one hour a day chewing, compared to three hours in paleolithic times. This has resulted in dental problems in society. Teeth represent our bite in life. The aggressive nature inside.

What does it mean when you dream about losing teeth?

• Figure out your passion in life and stop stressing
• Don’t make decisions based on temporary matters, be patient and make the right decisions
• Don’t be silent practice communication and the art of giving others your point of view
• In life, we often feel insecure and make sure we don’t go backward and always forward

Think about how you want your life to look. Do not panic about your dream and think you have to tell your boss tomorrow morning or change your career or your relationship overnight. You can respond and stop these kind of dreams by reviewing your priorities and putting the promises you made to yourself higher on the list. Shiny white enamel teeth can haunt our dreams in many ways. 

Does dreaming of teeth signal death in real life?

Although many connect teeth dream with death this is due to gypsy folklore. There are many predictions in dream lore that also point that a dream of teeth has nothing to do with death. If you had a dream in which your teeth were falling out or most famously spitting out teeth is connected with your teeth. Many people associate teeth with death, and in the research that I found only a few people actually died – it’s a pure coincidence in my view. Teeth dreams are all about changes, self-perception, inner strength and more importantly the fear of losing something in life, rather than losing something forever. Teeth are also a symbol of your self-confidence. To see large, white beautiful teeth – indicates that you will have much self-confidence. 

Famously, Arabian Caliph in Islam dreamt that his teeth were dropping out. When he consulted an interpreter, he told him this was a bad omen, and that his parents were likely to die. The Caliph had the dream interpreter whipped. 

He later consulted a further dream interpreter who told him that his dream was a good omen and that he can expect to outlive his parents. His parents did not die, but it is interesting to note that the ancient dream interpretation of the loss of teeth is generally connected to death or the death wish. Generally, any dream involving teeth portends aggressive sexuality, but normally this dream means that you are undertaking some type of transition from childhood through to maturity.

What is the spiritual meaning of teeth falling out in a dream?

According to my website statistics, “teeth” is one of my most searched for dreams. Since ancient times dreams have been associated with predictions of the future. The tooth dream in folklore is quite negative I am sorry to say. It presages that power may be lost or challenged. This dream is usually less severe than the more extreme versions. These dreams usually involve losing a tooth or finding out that one of your teeth has fallen out. This type of feedback after a decision serves to remind you that while a temporary compromise can be strategically advantageous, there are real costs associated with maintaining the course for the long term.

If teeth are missing from the mouth, pulled out, breaking, or spat out indicate our own internal stresses. It is true to say that in dream psychology teeth are connected to our own stress levels. Therefore, I can conclude that this is a stress-induced dream. 

Sometimes we dream that our teeth are black, moldy, or rotten. Spiritually this implies the crown borrowed success. As the teeth are being lost in a dream it can indicate that you need to work on meditation grounding.

Why do I dream about my teeth falling out?

This dream can indicate you will naturally encounter a feeling of insecurity. In psychology, our teeth coming out represents not only stress but also the feelings of not being secured in an element of life, this could be a relationship alternatively job. It’s important to note that teeth coming out represents emotional times ahead. If you cannot touch your teeth in your mouth then this shows that you’re going to go through a period of engagement. It may be that you uncover a difficult situation or that you are trying to find the best course of action to solve a problem. You should spend more time with people who support you, do activities that release you, and pursue pursuits that restore balance. It is important to be clear about your thoughts and to decide what you can and cannot bear. Here is more detail about why you may have dreams of teeth falling out.

1. Dreams about teeth are about making decisions:

Dreams about losing your teeth could indicate that something is not balanced in life. It is normally associated with personal objectives. If the teeth are just coming out of your mouth you are trying to catch them and this can indicate that you need to change certain aspects of your life. The symbolism of your teeth being lost on the floor can indicate the end of a period in life. Normally this type of dream occurs during the REM sleep stage. It can indicate you are going to be confronted with many different opportunities going forward. Everything is manageable and you must try to enhance your life for the greater good after having such a dream. 

2. Dreams about teeth are connected to problems in life:

Dreaming about losing teeth can also signify you might be facing a number of problems and that you do not know how to solve them. I like to think that the chief represents our own protective crown. Teeth are broken or in poor shape, it is a symbolism whereby you need to draw attention to inner concerns.

3. Dreams about teeth are connected to identity issues:

Dreaming about losing teeth is concerned with our own personal identity. Everybody has a smile, in a dream state if you are unable to smile because of the chief being lost in this can create the perception. There are issues about perhaps assertiveness, self-confidence and also overcoming anxiety. As your teeth are missing, it can indicate that you need to find your own identity and communicate better with people. Being toothless is a reminder that you need to face challenging situations and be one with your own identity.

What did Sigmund Freud write about dreams of losing teeth?

I have touched on dream psychology in my opening paragraph, the Freudian that the dream is connected to male private parts. Yes, you heard right! It is associated with a partner or someone who holds power and control over you. Freud researched extensively what dreams about teeth really meant. The dream is caused normally by power shifts. It can denote a sudden loss of control over something important in life. If you are feeling your power has been taken from you then this dream is common.

What is the general dream meaning of teeth?

When one struggles to complete a task in life, this dream is common. If you lose teeth in your dream, then this represents fear. This dream is a message to make sure you are hundred percent healthy, as it can signify some type of illness, go to the doctor and get yourself checked out if you feel unwell. 

Dreams about dentist removing teeth

If the tooth is removed then you feel a sense of relief, this is exactly the advice the dream is giving you. Make sure that you remove yourself from situations that are stressful. By doing this you will make sure that your life will become a lot easier as you move forward with success. Remove the problem to feel relief. If you dream of your teeth actually falling out, then this goes back to your childhood and that you have been living a carefree existence for some time now.

What do dreams of crumbling teeth mean?

Have you ever had that dream of your teeth suddenly crumbling in your mouth? Or you spit out crumbling teeth? To dream of crumbling teeth is (according to folklore) a negative dream. I can assure you please don’t worry about this negative interpretation too much. Sigmund Freud believed that bad or missing teeth reveal that you may be feeling powerless and subsequently you may have to face the consequences of control and power.

A dream of crumbling teeth around your feet can suggest that you need to think about how you communicate with others. It could also suggest that things will work out well. Maybe you dreamt that you had tooth decay or alternatively you went to the dentist to have some crowns or bridges fitted, then they began to collapse and crumble. Our teeth are patched up through fillings but over time many fragments break away. I myself have even experienced a crumbling tooth in real life and in dreams. 

Dreaming of having “brittle” teeth can actually mean something. The crumbling tooth in real life is associated with wanting something to be removed in life. If you dream your crumbling teeth were removed, fragment by fragment by a dentist this implies in dream lore that success will prevail. Crumbling teeth in my research suggest there is a sense spiritually that a “situation” will need directing. To see another person in a dream whose teeth crumble indicates a difficult decision to make in the future. Maybe you feel like you’re losing your power over something. Perhaps your relationship isn’t working as you imagined but it will do. It could be that your partner does not feel right for you. Crumbling teeth in dreams have been related to the feeling of getting old. In particular, fearing the loss of beauty and attractiveness.

Ancient meanings of teeth dreams (pre-1930s)

The general tendency in dream interpretation is to move away from isolated symbols and to interpret the dream as a whole.

What’s the psychological meaning of teeth falling out in your dream?

So far, I have discussed at length about teeth in general and the old folklore regarding teeth dreams. Dreams of teeth falling out are one of the most popular dreams to have. There are a number of reasons why you may have dreamt of your teeth falling out. The interpretation of dreams by Sigmund Freud can provide some insight. he wrote on page 83 of this book about concealing teeth. 

Freud believed that the concealing of false teeth indicates that there is going to be some examination in life. To dream of your teeth falling out is one of the most common dreams in history. I have carried out research into this dream and I have been studying dreams for 20 years. I’m Flo and I wish to share some interesting facts about this dream. 

And although many claims this dream represents something negative and unfortunate, we say the opposite – the interpretation of this dream is positive and refers to changes. Sigmund Freud analyzed teeth that when you dream of your teeth falling off, your dream has a sexual connotation, but as you know, with Freud everything is related to sex. 

In Freudian times, this dream was likely to be associated with relationships. The dream generally indicates a sense of loss in love. The image of an extracted tooth is symbolic and related to some type of loss. The emotion that you feel in your dream is important, because the extraction of the actual truth may be positive, which completely changes the meaning of this dream from negative to positive. 

Freud always believed it is impossible to fully interpret teeth dreams. When trying to find the answer to why this dream has suddenly happened in your life, it is important to understand the emotions and feelings that you experienced within your dream. It is important to realize that you are likely to experience a lack of communication from someone close to you the next month. The individual meanings associated with losing your teeth will be dependent upon how you feel during your dream. 

Maybe you have had a difficult period of time around work, and it is time to think about what you really want from life in general. It is important to note that this dream has been considerably searched for during June, one of our top performers. Many people in ancient dream interpretation books especially from the 1920s generally associate dreaming of teeth with erotica. Raphael expresses a general view that to dream your teeth are lose it generally predicts illness of some kind. He also stated that for your teeth to come out it generally indicates that death is likely, but it is not sure this is a true interpretation as this was very old folklore. It is not surprising that if you dream your teeth were lost, you are in essence losing something in your life. 

What does it signify if you lost one tooth in a dream?

To lose one tooth in your dream means losing something in waking life that you no longer need or want. Maybe it’s a person who’s been walking with you for too long. Or someone you no longer care for. In older dream lore, it can mean losing money too but that won't be a problem for you. Remember, that we can always find a way to double your money after you experience a financial loss. I feel this dream is about losing your path in life. Do you even know where you are going?

What does it mean to dream of a dentist fixing your teeth?

To dream of a dentist fixing or operating on your teeth signifies you’re the need for discretion, in ancient dream lore.

Often people with toothless grins are older people. If you see a man or woman without teeth this can imply you need to focus on yourself.

I know we all look a bit strange with gaps in the teeth. In my view, these dreams lead us to ask ourselves certain questions. Does someone need help? If the answer is no, then this dream indicates that perhaps you need to reach out and ask if someone close needs help. 

Alternatively, your dream reveals an excessive worry about a certain person in waking life. There is a key interpretation of this dream and that is to reach out and offer your help and support. To dream of seeing a man without teeth in a dream reflects your inner issues as well. It is time that you pay attention to yourself and thinks about how you are feeling today.

What does it mean to see blood on your teeth in your dream?

To dream of seeing blood on your teeth, or that your teeth are “knocked out” represents your enemies in dream lore.

To dream of false teeth represents in folklore fake friends are around you in waking life. It can imply that not everyone is honest with you.

Front tooth replacement could be through dental implants if in your dream can imply a new approach to old ways. Since olden times dreams of losing a front tooth have been associated with a knock-on effect in life. After all, when we lose one tooth it can affect the other teeth in dentistry research. In real life, the loss of front teeth is due to accidents. In our modern world, we generally wear mouth guards and to wear this in a dream suggests that you need protection in life. The loss of one tooth in old dream lore is quite negative and one tooth is a great example of the loss of power in a specific area of life.

What does it mean to dream that your teeth are in good shape? To dream that you have perfectly white gleaming healthy teeth means that you feel comfortable in your life but you feel you deserve more.

Maybe your friends, relatives or partner don’t have the capacity to understand what you really want.

What do white teeth falling out in your dream to mean?

To dream of white teeth falling out is usually connected with anxiety in older dream books.

Some dictionaries state that when you dream that your teeth are falling out, it means that you’re ready for a change. No matter how painful the change will be – you may need to alter your perspective. This could be your relationship with your family, friends, and relatives too. The good news is that this dream denotes that you know exactly what you want from life. To see your entire teeth just fallout indicates that you need to look at your heart to give you the right answers in life. Ignore your rational mind and listen to your intuition.

What do dreams of pulling your teeth mean?

The first thing I will say about this dream is that dentists or anyone should not pull teeth unless they have to, many dentists just pull teeth now… when they could be saved. The question of such a dream is if you had a toothache in the tooth that was pulled in the dream this can indicate your control in life. If the tooth was infected or decayed in the dream and had to be pulled is a synthetic representation of a problem you are experiencing in life. Pulling your teeth (yourself) in your dream suggests that you should stop forcing yourself to do something. It can mean that you are facing some radical changes and you should be gentler with yourself. Remember that you can’t control everything that happens in your life. Or who enters or leaves your life. But you can always control yourself and how you react to everything.

I am going to cover this because most older dream books have specific meanings for young girls who dream of teeth, I would say those women under the age of 25. If you’re a young girl and you dream of your teeth falling out, it represents minor problems in a “love” relationship. Maybe a person you know is keeping secrets from you. These secrets will hurt your feelings but you shouldn’t pay much attention because you’re still young and your dating life has just begun.

Can’t you see your great potential and pure soul that’s going to help you achieve everything you want in life?

Losing your teeth in a crowd also represents someone else hygiene in old dream lore.

What does it mean when your teeth are breaking?

When your teeth are breaking in your dream it could feel awkward and frightening. However, my interpretation of such a dream is positive. In old dream lore, teeth breaking can indicate that you are going to encounter a spiritual awakening. There is one question that I need to ask. What makes our teeth break?

Depression may strike you, but you will successfully strike it back.
