I had a dream not to long ago that almost all of my teeth just started falling out. I was like my gums became very soft and one by one as I touched each tooth it fell out! In the dream I was of course freaked out. And got in my car with my hand over my mouth to drive and find a dentist... There was no blood or pain...they just sort of popped out.. When I woke I wondered if there was any kind of subconscious meaning for such a dream. I looked at an online website that offers dream interpetation and it said to dream that your teeth are falling out could mean you have said some words that you regret.. I know I have in the past but not recently.. It also said that this is a very common dream among people. That sort of surprised me because it just seems so odd.. Boy was I happy to wake up and see I still had all my teeth!Have you ever had this dream or have any idea of other interpetations for such a dream?

Some old malay people would say that when you dream that a tooth fall out it means that someone dear to you is going to die. The upper tooth, somebody older. Lower, somebody younger. Usually one tooth not all your teeth. I don't know whether this is true or not though, just sharing a little something I've heard a few times before.

I don't want to sound pessimistic but when you dream that a tooth or several of your teeth is lost, that means a relative or someone you know will die. When you wake up it would be better to bite it in a piece of wood so it won't happen. i have read this interpretation a lot of times and I never experienced dreaming about losing a tooth.

I have read that this is a very common dream. I think that it said somewhere that this means you are worried about getting old and your physical appearance falling apart. You must want to be beautiful forever! Either that or you're worried you're going to eat too much candy on Halloween!

This is a very common dream - I have had it many times in my life - mainly when going through stressful situations. It is an awful dream!It's liker, when you feel that you do not have any control in your life over anything. Good luck. Hope you do not have it again!

Mostly people dream about their teeth falling out. I in my life had dreamed several times ....and wake up thanking God that it was a dream.
