Dream symbol · T
Tooth falling out
A transitional period, fear of losing control, or aging.
Dream interpretation
A tooth falling out is one of the most common dreams. Contrary to fears, it is rarely a fatal omen. It usually reflects a sense of helplessness in real life or a transition (just as baby teeth fall out for permanent ones to come). It can signal a 'loss of face' or concern about how others perceive you. If you do not feel pain, it is a sign that you are releasing something unnecessary in order to grow.
