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 I did a little digging and as it turns out dreaming of your teeth falling out is amung the most common dreams expereinced. I asked the question on yahoo answers and I came up with a few different responses that I hadn't considered.

One answerer said that it has to do with anxiety. And that would make sense because on thing people do when they are anxious is they grind their teeth. So it would make sense that in dreams they might dream of them falling out if they have a lot of worry or stress in their life.

Another guy said it has to do with "speaking falsehoods" - lying. While I can see how I sometimes say things that might get me into trouble if I lie its generally just part of a joke or for a real good reason. but someone else might be able to relate to that better.

Lasty a responder said that it had to with changing views or losing old attitudes. He also associated the left side with matterial and selfish things as well as greed and the right with spiritual/unselfish things.
