I've had a re-occuring nightmare for about two years that my teeth are falling out or decaying - I've been told that this is a fear of aging - but I dont have any conscious fears about getting old - can anyone shed any other ideas.
RE: No Teeth!!
Hi Rubbercat, yes alot of dream books say the same about fear of age, Maybe it means chewing on things to long, needing to make up ones mine in situations. Because we eat and chew with teeth, if they fall out we cant chew. and if we had false teeth we would be living a lie to what we would really want in life. Maybe the dream telling you to make a choise in life about something you put off to long.
If this make sence to you, then what you decide will proberly stop the nightmare.
Any way i leave you to chew on it:D
only take what you feel is right to you
love and blessings

RE: No Teeth!!
Hello Rubbercat,
Here is some of the symbols that are associated with teeth.
Incisives (front teeth) in the Bambara (an African tribe) tradition have to do with strength, agressivity, joy (they are the teeth you see when someone smiles).
Loosing teeth can be a symbol of loosing youth, strength, defenses... It can be a symbol of frustration or feeling of failure. The Chinese used to associate loosing teeth with the death of a parent. Loosing teeth can also express some metaphysical fear (not necessarly death). Teeth having also to do with assimilation -of food on the physicla level, but it can also me psyhcological assimilation of things- loosing teeth can be a sign that there is something one has difficulties to assimilate.
Maybe something that rings a bell among all of the above?
