 a strange dream
It was dreamed during a rare nap...in the middle of the day.
Somehow, my upper jaw and palate broke into three pieces.  Parts of my jawbone and rows of teeth kept falling out of place, and I would keep shoving them back up where they belong...hoping if I didn't move, they would grow back together and eventually heal.  There was no pain in the dream.

The only other person in the dream was my mother, who was unconcerned about the whole thing.  I kept asking her if I should go to the ER, or at least to a dentist.  She didn't think it was necessary.

The dream ended with me planning what I could slurp down while my skull healed...milkshakes with eggs, milkshakes with protein powder and crushed multivitamins....

I woke up, and stayed in half-asleep mode for a few minutes..still holding my head very still...still believing that I had a broken palate and jawbone. 

When I realized that it had been a dream...by running my tongue over  the intact roof of my mouth (without rows of teeth falling out) I was so relieved..

I have often had dreams where all of my teeth fall out...I just keep spitting out mouthfuls and can't stop it.


I had braces for 5 years, and years of other orthodontia as a kid and teenager.

What does it mean?  Does anybody interpret dreams?



Tonight is open gymnastics..where you can come and just play  on the equipment.  We haven't been able to go in a long while.  Ds is ready to go, but dd fell asleep in the car on the way home at dinnertime today, and still sleeps on the couch after a grouchy wake-up of yelling and screaming.  She wasn't ready to wake up yet.  Now...do I wake her up to go to gymnastics?  She really wanted to go.  Or do I let her sleep, and stay behind with her when ds and dh go, and then snuggle up with a cup of tea and my latest library check out video series: THe Tibetan Book of the Dead?  (sound cozy??)  She could wake up at 8pm and be ready to stay up half the night.  Ugh! 


Such a dilemma...

wake her up!!  She'll be happy (once she gets there) and she'll use up lots of energy to sleep well the rest of the night!  Well, that's my theory, anyway :)

I agree. Wake her up. 

I have had dreams where my teeth fall out.  Usually in my dreams I notice that they are loose and about to fall out and I panic about it.

Teeth falling out is an incredibly common dream.  I believe it usually has to do with feeling in control of your life.  Here's a good quote I found about it:

"[Teeth] hold, cut, grasp and generally are the first way we had to do these things. But then we lost our first set, just as we were gaining in self-control and power. And yet, shortly thereafter, a new and larger world and set of teeth appear!

And so, if I have a tooth lose dream, I can ask myself:

1. What parts of my world and life are slipping away?
2. What new larger world will this lead me too?

Lose a tooth, gain a world!"
