My teeth are falling out into my hands. So many that I have to fashion my shirt into an apron so as not to drop any of them...

This was my dream last night. I was in a hospital as a worker (imagine that) bringing things into my office (pictures, knick knacks etc...)to personalize it when my teeth began to fall out into my hands. There was a physician who specialized in replacing teeth, so he kept fixing mine but they kept falling back out in to my hands again. I had to spit them out because I was choking. In addition to teeth, I spat paper clips, blood, gallons of saliva and bits of the tooth cement adhesive the MD used to put my teeth back into my mouth.

I looked this one up and this is what the dream dictionary said:

If feelings of loss of control, helplessness or powerlessness accompany your tooth loss dream, the dream is typically acting as a mirror of a situation in waking life.
Sometimes tooth loss dreams point to a fear of failure or embarrassment. In waking life, when people lose teeth, they often cover their mouths when talking or smiling.

Let's see...loss of control, helplessness and powerlessness, check. Failure and embarrassment, check.

I'd say that dream pretty much hit the nail on the head. I need some Winnie the Pooh.

Oddly enough, we are on the same page, but my "tooth" dream comes and goes. Has since college. Hope your dreams get back to grotesquely bizarre (normal) soon. :D

Ugh! I have dreams like this too from time to time. Always wondered what it meant.

I have been having variations on the teeth falling out dream for years. ANd yes it always coincides with periods of high anxiety
