A horrible reoccuring dream Options

I just woke up a few hours ago from a dream that keeps happening, before I go into it I'll give a little background.

Growing up I had several oral surgeries done, my parents must have paid a fortune for me to have "Perfect" teeth. I had a root canal done on one of my front teeth at 16 all of my wisdom teeth removed after I had my braces removed at 14, permanaent retainers cemented in from 14 till I was 21, braces from 11 to 14, and headgear from 10 to 14. Not to include two yearly checkups every year since I cut my first tooth.

Now for the dream...

Its always a little different but gets worse everytime. It scares the devil right out of me because it gets more real each time (this time I thought it was real untill I woke up) I had woken up in the dream and somehow in the night I bit down hard enough on my teeth that they all began to break up and loosen from their sockets. I bent forward feeling something in my mouth and spit my teeth, peices of my teeth and blood into my hands... Horrified I woke Antony up and told him "I need to go to the hospital" he refused saying everything was ok... I was horrified and traumatized holding my teeth, looking in the mirror at myself I had some parts of my teeth still in my mouth others were completely gone but my back teeth remained whole and intact inside my mouth molars, and the ones in front of the molars in all 4 quadrents were fine. An old friend of mine came by the house and we were taliking and I was still very upset and told her to leave. Then I woke up.

I've had this same teeth losing falling apart dream in the past but in differnt situations... one in school, others when I was in my parents home... but usually one or two or three teeth not 20... and never as real as this one seemed. Anyone have an explination?

Dental anxiety?

Happens a lot. People who've had a lot of operations of a specific type, or a lot of illnesses of a specific type - anything that can cause some sort of anxiety - tend to have dreams featuring them going wrong.

What's your personal experience with dentists and your teeth? Did you like going to the dentist? Did your parents ever get you worried about not going to the dentist?
