I don't understand why they are reoccurring...that's the thing that gets me. I don't believe in demons any longer either, nor do I believe in Jehovah...yet I know I call out Jehovah's name in my sleep when I have a really disturbing dream....usually its my snake dreams. Weird.

Yes, I have. I don't know what it means, but I would guess it's got something to do with life not being as stable as you thought it was.

Dreams About Teeth
Dreaming that your teeth are falling out is one of the many common anxiety dreams. You may dream that your teeth are crumbling in your hands or that your teeth are falling out one by one with just a light tap. Such dreams are horrifying and shocking. 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 is important in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may be a fear of your sexual impotence, powerlessness or even 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.
Alternatively, you may fear being embarrassed in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.
Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. Symbolically, teeth therefore represents power. And losing your teeth may indicate that you are feeling disempowered. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated that your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and have low self-confidence. 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.
Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represents malnutrition which may also apply to some dreamers.
Other Perspectives
A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicates 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.
I love my dreams, which are very detailed,well I love the pleasant ones. The armeggedon ones are over with, but were quiet disturbing and very realistic. I have dreamed also of jumping in the air and going very high,but not flying,just floating back down. I have dreamed of my mother often, and would dream of her when I was going thru a bad spell of missing her. Funny I dont dream of my dad, which is a good thing. I used to dream alot about being persecuted , in some way or another, being humiliated, and trying to hit someone and it not even touching them . A therepist once told me this is classic symptons of PTSD, and could even be things in my deep subconscience from my childhood.But in this last year my dreams like that are few and far between, since I left the borg, go figure!!!!! Many of my dreams are like little mini series, they start off with a point , and then towards then end , changes into something eles. Most of the time, they are not that far fetched from things that have really happened to me. I dream everynite and I almost always remember what i have dreamed about . I dream alot that I am still stuck living at home with my parents and I am 35 years old and married to Denny. Then i get a miserable feeling and realize that I dont have to stay with them and I leave to meet Denny somewhere, but I have to sneak away .Sometimes I dream I have cleaned the house or done something that needed to be done, and it would be so real, only to wake up to find I didnt do it . I woke up the other morning, singing, I heard myself out loud, and so did Denny who was standing at the foot of the bed laughing . I remember I was trying to sing a Xmas carol but didnt know the words.... it went like this,,,,frosty the snowman was a jolly green giant. I was a little embarrassed . I also walk , talk, and have talked on the phone while completely asleep. My mother said I did this since I was a baby ,and Denny says I still do it, but the sleepwalking is not often.
whoa, beck i just read this. you do that too, call out to jehovah in the throes of a dream. i don't feel so bad now. i don't believe it anymore, yet it does indeed come out in dreams and i don't know why.
as far as other dreams go, i have also had the "teeth falling out" dream a couple of times, and it's usually when i am stressed at work or have to give a presentation, etc. maybe scully's right about those dreams being an" over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety" i do get anxious beforehand, but about being taken seriously, not about my appearance. but once i'm doing it i'm fine. and i don't have any problems with my teeth. i'm lucky in that i like the dentist.
p.s. in my underwater dream, i mentioned a "pot-smoking hemp-growing" person. that was because that's what came out in the dream.
i am neither an opposer nor an advocate of marijuana useage, for the record. good niiiight
