I do too, isnt it really scary? I haven't figured out why yet either. I do know that like some people are grossed out by feet, I am grossed out by teeth. When my daughter does actually lose a tooth, I get sick if she tried to pull it in front of me. I have no idea. But it might helpt both of you to see a Counsellor.

I do also and have for years.

It is a bit strange that the two of you are having the same dream.

Maybe your subconcious is trying to tell you to set a dental appointment?

Hope you will live a life for a very very long time. Don't worry at all.

God bless you and your son.

I'm not a dream expert, but I believe that when you are dreams about having your teeth falling out, it is a sign of frustation or some internal turmoil. Are your stress? i know this one is long, but it might help you:

"My Teeth Are Falling"

Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams we here at Dream Moods receive. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your 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 conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.

Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.

Other Perspectives

A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicate that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.

In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.

According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if your are telling lies.

It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

From where I'm from people believe that if you dream of teeth falling out someone in your family will die. Sorry didnt mean to scare you. "lose all your teeth and it is anxiety about the future. It is not a good omen"-P.S.It's the only book I like and is relevant to anything.

i have had that dream a few times too, it is horrible. When i looked it up in a dream dictionary i found out that is linked to insecurity/anxiety/nervousness. Do you get the dream when you are waiting for something to happen that you are not quite sure about?
