Always dream about my teeth and jaw?

i always dream that my teeth are either loose or falling out and at the same time my jaw goes all weird, it feels like it is broken or dislocated, during these dream i am in terrible pain, but the pain doesn't wake me up. Sometimes i go for weeks without having these dreams then when i do have them they happen every night for about four days I don't think anybody is supposed to be in pain while they are dreaming. It gets so bad that i sometimes dread going to sleep, please help. Thx

It may be your body trying to tell you something.I had something similar myself and this was down to me grinding my teeth when I slept. The dentist began noticing the effects on my teeth before I realised what I was doing and said it could have been brought on by stress (I later found out it was exaggerated if I had been drinking). The dentist gave me a mouth guard to use at night. Try and find out if this is the problem before it has any conseqeunces because it can really do damage to teeth and gums.
Reply:I have a horrible recurring dream that is so realistic about all my teeth falling out. It feels so real, every time I have it I think to myself while I'm dreaming "Oh, no, it's for real this time!" So I looked it up in a dream book and it says teeth dreams are manifestations of stress and/or could be from grinding your teeth while sleeping. I've been trying to deal with my stress levels and the dream hasn't happened for a couple months!
Reply:Its funny because I learned in my class that these are common dreams for EVERYONE. This particular drem plays on insecurities...whatever they may be. I too have these dreams. The best way to address it is to deal better with your major insecurities.
Reply:Hi there,


The two people who have already answered before me are correct in saying this may have something to do with a physical problem you have. Id suggest you speak to your dentist reguarding the pain and see what he/she says to this.


If in your actual dreaming state you dream of your jaw feeling tight and inpain (this isnt a physical pain but a dream pain) this indicates that you have unexpressed angers and other powerful feelings which you are holding back. Either from yourself or from others. Also if you see your mouth in your dream (not just your teeth) this signifies your need to express yourself or talk about an issue that's bothering you.


Teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in giving this image. If you occassionally worry about your looks and how others see you this dream would highly suit you, and for this very reason. Theres also the point that you maybe feeling embarrassed or have the fear of making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. In this case your teeth dreams are to do with your worries and anxiety.





As you have mentioned that you've had these dreams before these dreams (including the pain) are classed as reoccurring dreams. Most dreams contain messages for us and by dreaming its our unconsious mind trying to show and teach us something about ourselves. With recurring dreams, the message may be so important and/or powerful that it just will not go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. The dream is trying desperately to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them. Which can also leave you waking up in a sweat, feeling afraid and also in pain in certain areas.

Reply:Dreaming about teeth falling out is generally a sign of stress. I often dream my teeth are falling out when I am stressed out. When you are feeling tense, try writing down everything that is winding you up before you go to sleep.I may relieve the feelings enough to get a decent nights sleep.





Good Luck.
