Falling Teeth

The dream of falling teeth is one of the most common and often unsettling symbols. It rarely means literal loss, but rather is associated with feelings of helplessness, loss of control, or anxiety about how you present yourself to the world. Teeth are associated with our strength, our ability to eat (metaphorically – to assimilate life experiences) and to express ourselves. Their loss can symbolize fear of failure, disappointment, or vulnerability in important life situations. Sometimes it can reflect unsaid words or a lost opportunity to express yourself. Pay attention to the context of the dream and what else is happening to interpret the message more precisely.
