First Tooth Dream

Filed Under Dreams, Pregnancy, Sleep | 1 Comment

I have heard that it is somewhat common for pregnant women to dream about losing teeth. Well, weird dreams in general are very common. I’ve already had a few quite strange ones involving guys from the past, food, and magnetic objects. Okay wait- those were NOT all in the same dream together!

Anyway the tooth thing is supposed to be normal, I guess. I have read that it symbolizes fear of losing control over something. Sure enough, last night I lost my first dream tooth.

We were at the zoo for my birthday. I remember specifically that my college roommate Sarah was there. I got in a fight with my mom about my teeth. (What? Me fighting with my mom?) Next thing I knew, one of my big back teeth had fallen out and was floating around in my mouth in a bunch of blood.

I frantically called my dentist, who was suddenly a woman instead of a man. She told me to wrap the tooth in a wet paper towel and come in right away. Her office was on the bottom level of some sort of shopping mall. After examining me, she informed me that she could not sew the tooth back into place until the spot had healed.

So for the remainder of my dream, I wandered around with a tooth in a wet paper towel, worrying that it would not be able to be sewn back in if I waited too long.

The dream was soooo realistic. I could taste the blood, and I could feel the spot in my mouth where the tooth was missing. I looked in the mirror and I could see it. I still remember specifically which tooth it was.

Anyone else with weird tooth dreams during pregnancy??
