Dreams about teeth falling out/getting loose
I've been having these for about 2 years now. Most of the time it's a dream where I'm feeling my front canine-like teeth (the fang ones on the side/front) with my tongue, and the more I press on one of them with my tongue, the looser it gets, and sometimes it just pops right out. That's usually the climax of the dream, where it culminates in pure horror as I imagine life without one or two of my front teeth even for a day. I really do wake up sweating.
The catalyst for this post was a dream I had last night that was so ridiculous that it was almost funny. I had a dream where I had those rubber-band things holding my teeth together in the back, and I was trying to open my mouth but I couldn't because of the rubber bands. Then I tried really hard and the worst possible thing happened: not only did all of my teeth explode out of my mouth, but they were attached to gums and everything, completely whole except for a couple of teeth bouncing off to the side. I lost not only my teeth but my whole mouth, is what it looked like on the ground. I woke up and never went back to sleep for the whole night, granted it was already 6.
My roommate says he gets the same type of dreams, where a tooth is loose. Anyone else?
