strange reoccuring dream

i have had several dreams where i am chewing gum and it get stuck in my tooth. it becomes really painful to pull the gum out and usually my teeth come with it. or my tooth is loose and the gum sticks and pulls it out.

i wake up usually remembering bits and pieces of my dreams, so that is not odd. and i often have dreams about the same thing if something is on my mind, but teeth and gum? wtf?

 

I'm going to have to think on this one........
The obvious is that there may be something in your life you feel stuck with and the removal of it will or is painful.......but that may be too obvious
I'll think on it and come back.......

 

there is one obvious thing i can think of, but it is nothing new. so i am not sure why it would be invading my dreams now.

 

I've had some disturbing dental images in my dreams, usually involving shattered teeth rather than getting stuff stuck. Both my own teeth and seeing other people's teeth being shattered. Pretty disturbing at the time, and usually correlated with heavy stress, body issues, and/or ethical issues IRL.

 

a_c, you took Freudian psychology, right?

If not, I will send you a PM.

 

actually i did not, it was touched upon in a few classes but my degree focused more on child development and educational psychology.
