Does anyone here ever have a dream about your teeth breaking? It really is quite horrifying and very vivid, it actually feels like they have! :( Sometimes it feels like they are just crumbling, other times its as if they are being strained, then cracked ...... argh! :confused:

Is this a normal weird dream? lol
 
Yep, used to get it a lot as a teen.

Dream interpretation websites reckon it is to do with low self-esteem or stress. The former would make sense in my case, as once I came out of my shell, I stopped having those dreams.
 
As someone once said, the only thing more boring that listening to people talking about their kids is listening to them talking about their dreams....

/out
 
I used to have the same dream all the time, there are loads of different theories as to what it means, from low confidence to money worries. So I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's quite a common dream. Mine stopped in the end, no idea why, just grew out of it I guess.
 
I had it quite a lot when starting a new job.

Indeed as others have said it's said to be associated with stress, specifically unavoidable stress (like you know there's nothing you can do to stop the stress for at least some time for some reason).
 
I had this a lot, but not cracking, a tooth or two would feel loose and I would wobble it and it would fall out. They were always so vivid as well.
 
I used to have it all the time, I'd dream my teeth were just falling out or falling apart and at the time it would seem 100% real. I'd wake up in a cold sweat and check all my teeth were still in place!

I've had a whole host of long running vivid dreams, in my late teens I used to regularly have falling dreams which again felt so real I would wake up with my heart racing after a massive shot of adrenaline. For the whole of my final year at uni I had dreams about course work I hadn't started being due the next day, these continued even after I graduated for a couple of years and were once again real enough to have me waking up in a cold sweat.

Never really found any cause for them but they all seem to have gone away now.
 
Had this dream for as long as I can remember.

The only dream I can't "direct" or control, and can't properly wake from it either.

Got worse last few months with dissertation and exams, then got stomach ulcers, so certain it's to do with stress :p
 
Anxiety and stress as others have said. I used to get these around exam/deadline times.

Didn't help that I started grinding my teeth in my sleep whilst having these dreams, so when I woke up my teeth and gums hurt :(

Click to expand...

I'd suggest that these dreams come about /because/ you are clenching your teeth due to stress.

I have a tendency to clench my teeth when stressed out, it leads to headaches and these dreams - which I reckon are triggered by the jaw aching from clenching/grinding of teeth.
