What does it mean to dream about Tooth loss ?

What does it mean to dream about losing teeth? Is it good to dream about losing teeth? Dreaming about losing teeth has realistic influences and reactions, as well as the subjective imagination of the dreamer. Please see the detailed explanation of dreaming about losing teeth below.

In real life, many people have dreamed about losing teeth. In my country and some Western countries, there has been a saying that dreaming about losing teeth indicates that relatives at home will have disasters. In the ancient Chinese book "The Interpretation of Dreams by Zhou Gong", it is clearly written that losing teeth is a symbol of "funeral at home". Why? Because when people vaguely feel that the elderly may die, the subconscious mind will indeed use the way of losing teeth to tell you. Because teeth are exposed bone tissue, losing teeth means "separation of flesh and bones".

Dream interpretation of losing teeth:

1. Dreaming about your teeth falling off is interpreted as follows: you will quarrel with others. There are also problems in leisure activities. To put it more clearly, there is a risk of water disasters. Water recreation such as boating, surfing, swimming, fishing, etc. should be completely banned. Be especially careful when doing other recreation.

2. People lose their teeth in two situations: when they are gradually aging and when they are growing; then losing teeth in dreams generally has two meanings: the sadness of aging and the joy of growing up. Freud believed that losing teeth is a symbol of castration. If this is a dream of a boy, it would be easy to understand. Everyone knows that men have a "castration complex." But this is a girl's dream. Do girls also have a "castration complex"? Indeed, Freud believed that the "castration complex" of girls is mainly manifested in "penis jealousy", that is, the desire to have a masculine penis. From the perspective of modern feminism, Freud's views are indeed a bit chauvinistic, male-centered, and self-inflated; but at least one fact is stated: there is also a side of female personality that yearns for masculinity.

If you are not satisfied with your performance as a female, this dream indicates that the dreamer wants to weaken or remove the masculine side of herself. Perhaps she thinks that this is what makes her unhappy with her relationship and work. As mentioned above, her personality may be very strong, not the type of girl who is cuddly and kind. It is also true that such girls often do not get the care and recognition of the men around them in life and the workplace...

3. When you dream that your teeth are loose or falling off, you should first check if there is really anything wrong with your teeth. Maybe your teeth are slightly loose, and you didn't pay attention to it during the day, so your "primitive man" reminded you in your dream.

But it is often not that there is something wrong with your teeth, but why do you dream of losing teeth?

In the past, the folk saying was that losing teeth would kill the elderly, which was a superstition. But sometimes tooth loss and the death of an old person do appear one after another. Why?

Because when people vaguely feel that the old person may die, "primitive people" will indeed use the way of losing teeth to tell you. Because teeth are exposed bone tissue, tooth loss means "separation of flesh and bones".

Since dreaming of losing teeth is indeed related to the death of the elderly or other relatives, why do I still say that "losing teeth and killing the elderly" is superstitious? That's because tooth loss has more than just this meaning, it also has many other meanings.

Losing teeth also means "losing face" or "destroying self-image", because the face will be affected when the teeth are lost. Losing teeth also means speaking carelessly, because the teeth that have fallen out are also things that have to be spit out from the mouth, similar to words. In addition, it can also express patience, that is, as the saying goes, "swallow the teeth that have fallen out"; it means losing the right to decide on actions, because teeth can also symbolize decisiveness.

Western interpretation of dreaming about losing teeth:

1. One of the main sources of dreams is physiological stimulation, so the meaning of some dreams is a direct reaction to physiological conditions. For example, many people may have dreamed of looking for a toilet in their dreams, and most of them went straight to the bathroom after waking up. In fact, this is a dream caused by the bladder being swollen by urine. Therefore, dreaming about losing teeth may also be purely caused by physiological factors, such as tooth decay or tooth lesions.

2. Dreaming about losing teeth symbolizes psychological regression or growth. Losing teeth can also express two opposite feelings. One is the sadness of aging, because people will lose teeth when they are old. The other is the joy of growth, because children have to lose their milk teeth and replace them with new teeth when they grow up. No matter how old the dreamer is, as long as he feels aging or feels old-fashioned, he may have the former dream of losing teeth. Similarly, as long as he feels that he is growing up and abandoning the old and seeking the new, he may have the latter dream of losing teeth.

Freud believed that losing teeth is a symbol of castration. Boys dreaming of losing teeth indicates that they are afraid of being castrated, and this fear of castration is related to their potential hostility with their father. We can admit that losing teeth sometimes symbolizes castration. However, castration itself also has a deeper symbolic meaning, which is "loss of masculinity".

We often find such a situation: the father is too strict and authoritarian, and suppresses his son very strongly. If the son is weak, he will be suppressed by the father's authority, so the son becomes very honest, very submissive, very cowardly and timid. Although such a son is not "castrated" physically, he has actually lost his masculinity and is "castrated" psychologically. If a boy faces this situation, he will dream of being castrated, or take a step back and be more subtle, dreaming of his teeth falling out. This certainly contains hostility towards the father, but it is more of a fear of the father than hostility.

3. Dreaming of losing teeth, the original strong belief may be shaken. Teeth are the strongest thing in our body, so it is also a symbol of strength. And what is psychologically related to strength for us? The answer is, for example, beliefs, traditions, values, worldview, etc. So dreaming of losing teeth also symbolizes that our original belief system may be shaken.

4. Dreaming of losing teeth symbolizes that there is a problem with interpersonal relationships. Teeth grow in the mouth. As the saying goes, "articulate" describes a person who is very good at talking when interacting with others, so teeth are related to a person's interpersonal communication, and if teeth fall out, it may symbolize that there is a problem with interpersonal communication.

5. Dreaming of losing teeth symbolizes that you want to lose weight. The biggest function of teeth is to chew food, and if teeth fall out, its subtext actually means that you can't chew food. Why should a person chew and refuse food? We know that obesity is closely related to eating too much, and if teeth fall out, then people will definitely not eat too much, so they will naturally lose weight. Therefore, dreaming of losing teeth also symbolizes that the dreamer himself feels that he is too fat and wants to lose weight.

What does a tooth fall out in a specific dream symbolize? It depends on the meaning of the context.
