Check out those pearly whites


For as long as I can remember I have had this reoccurring dream that my teeth fall out. Sometimes it’s the molars, other times my front teeth. Usually after my teeth fall out my mother informs me that there is no money to fix them and I will have to live that way forever. In the dream I am fully aware that my previous dreams have been about my teeth falling out. The worst part is when I discover that the dream has finally come true and my teeth really have fallen out. Who wants to go through life with gaping holes in their mouth? Not me.

Well I had that dream again this week. And as usual I woke up being so very grateful for my (#17) teeth. Think about how important they are, without them we would be condemned to a diet of liquids and mush. Teeth are also important not just for chewing things, but for actually looking like a normal person. I think our faces would take an interesting turn for the worst without our pearly whites. Thank goodness for teeth.

(Side note) I decided to look up what dreams about teeth mean since I seem to have this dream all the time. According to several online dream interpretations, dreams about your teeth falling out have a few different meanings. It could mean you feel powerless and unable to take control of what is going on around you. Or it could be a sign that you are over concerned about your physical appearance. Great. So I am either horribly vain or a control freak. How kind of my subconscious to inform me of this little fact.
