My Teeth Keep Falling Out! Options

I have these reoccuring dreams where some of my teeth fall out. And I mean very vivid, realistic dreams where I feel a tooth is loose, no pain but I can feel it against my gums. Then either some of my teeth fall out or I end up removing them.

The dreams themselves are not always the same but the theme of loosing some of my teeth happens like 3 or more times a month. Like a few days ago I had this dream where I was totally awake and alert, in my bed lying in a way that was totally normal. I didn't even know I was dreaming. But then I notice a tooth is loose, usually on the left of my jaw. I think I chew with each side equally, but one commonallity is I loose teeth on the left side. Then I kept realizing I was dreaming, actually wake up, fall right back to sleep and have the same damn dream all over again.

I have an idea about what teeth in general mean in dreams but I curious about teeth falling out. I have not been able to find anything that sheds any light on this and am hopeing someone here might have some insights.

Well in one sense I am glad to hear others have similar dreams. On the other I can't help but wonder if somehow we are not sharing some kind of psychic bond or something really out there. I mean two mods and admin, three people thousands of miles away from eachother, only thing in common is participation on this site, all having similar dreams.

One time I had a dream like this and I kept spitting up razors. I didn't want to swallow anything because they were razors and I didn't want to kill myself. So I ended up with my mouth hanging over a sink and I just kind of drooled these razor blades along with my teeth. As far as that dream goes I assumed it had to do with saying things I shouldn't or speaking about things that dangerous or may put me in danger.

I was thinking that maybe vainity could fit as vagrant dreamer suggests but like him my appearance just is not a high priority. I do think I tend to be fastidious about my oral hygen and I know a couple of my teeth are kind of crooked, not like in a real gnarly kind of way. And actually in the 8th grade I had braces and when I had them removed my teeth were perfectly straight. But I stopped wearing the retainer because it kept me awake at night and I kept thinking I've swallow it in my sleep. So a couple of my teeth got misaligned. Which was really fraustrating because before I had the braces my teeth were straight already, aside from a very minor under bite.

Another thing that stands out is that sometimes in these dreams my teeth appear damaged or decayed. And I don't want to loose my teeth so maybe it is just an unconcsious manifestation of a fear of lossing my teeth. But it could also be related to lossing overall health. I think loss of health would make more sense than vanity (for me at least).
