Can this still be real or just some crazy dream?

[Onhell]

Last weekend I had a dream some of my teeth were loose and fell out. I remember being annoyed rather than worried or scared. Despite watching endless horror movies and various dental procedures throughout my life, I have never had a teeth falling out dream before. It was puzzling, but not sure why I had it or what it might mean.

These dreams are pretty common, i have had them , my wife too. They apparently symbolise stress or anxiety and can be related to major changes in your life.They can be very realistic and waking up to realise all your teeth are still there is a big relief.

That's what I'm chalking it up to for now, stress and anxiety. But I've had more of both in the past, I feel oddly calm compared to other times in my life, which is why I'm puzzled over it.

I've also had regular dreams about losing teeth (in one of them a tooth completely shattered in my mouth and I was pulling pieces of it out from my gums ), I've read they can also be related to financial worry. Though, like you, I've had these dreams when I haven't been particularly stressed in life or worried over money.

Weird thing, I’ve had many dreams recently where I feel depressed and hopeless. Last night it was a compliation of different characters stuck in awful circumstances, for example a boy who only had a head and one arm, I think, and the rest of his body was prosthetic. He was coping with his condition but there was psychological terror inflicted on him by his family members, and the situation seemed inescapable. Another episode was about me going to my local grocery store one night and finding a bunch of fighting drunks in front of it. They were strong and I was feeling overwhelmed by them. Pretty absurd scenarios, but there was the overarching sense of dread and trying to find support in those predicaments but failing to do so.

Well the first one is worthy of Stephen King.

You've probably been asked this before, but have you considered or tried writing these down and making stories out of them? For example, for the first example you've given here you could devise a plot whereby the boy does escape, and then gets revenge on his horrible relatives. Work out how the story should end.

You can't control what dreams you get, but responding to them proactively may make you feel better, and less depressed and powerless.
