Teeth falling out!

Hi,

I have recurring dreams (at least once a week) where my teeth fall out or are really wobbly or feel really tight (I used to wear a brace on my top teeth, it's that kind of feeling). I've had these teeth dreams for years. Sometimes my top teeth are really huge so I can't close my mouth, sometimes they fall out when I'm speaking, sometimes they are really wobbly and I pull them out!

The worst one I had was last week when my bottom teeth came out and so did half of my jaw! Disgusting!! The whole right side of my jaw fell out of my mouth and I was holding it! I think I must be mad![&:]

I've heard it's something to do with stress or money...any other ideas?! I've been having them since I was a teenager. They are always in colour and sometimes involve friends or family being around me when the teeth fall out or when they are really big and I can't close my mouth. I wore a brace for years so I wondered if it was something to do with that?

I also seem to be able to wake myself up when I'm having these dreams- like I know I'm dreaming and just shout to myself "wake up" and somehow I do! I've always been able to do that, wake myself up when I'm having stressful dreams- any ideas why??
