Hey there,
I am Jara, and I am new to this forum. I appologize for not introducing myself properly before posting my dream. I could not find the place for that yet.

I wanted to share a dream that I had today, because I want to try to understand it better and try to work with it, because it seems that it is important.

Here it goes: (sorry that it is such a long dream)

I was upstairs in some kind of a house, not a house that I know.
Suddenly I felt that I could move some of my teeth, and was shocked because it did not feel good. I touched them with my hand and one broke off.. just like that. In real life I have strong teeth, nothing wrong with it, so it shocked me.

I checked my other teeth, to see if those where still strong and another one broke off. It was a freaky experience because there is something very odd about breaking teeth. Also when they where broken, they where not completely loose yet, I had to move them around to get them out..
I started to feel a bit of panic coming up, I had no idea what was happening. I touched other teeth and again they broke off.

I went downstairs to call my mother. I was scared to do so because 'she' is scared of the dentist (a fobia). I knew that when I told her this, she would react in a dramatic way, and I was already scared so could not deal with her fear un-top of it.
I stayed in the hallway for some moments, before going to her. There I looked into a mirror and touched more teeth, two more broke off and it did not look good at all. Inside I felt a bit of sadness for losing them, my mouth had always looked fine and I knew that was over now.
Even though it was strange to do this, I had heard that keeping broken teeth in your mouth is the best way to preserve them. Sometimes they can be put back, if they are kept well. So I did this.. which meant that I had a mouth full with pieces of teeth.

I went to my mother in the living room of the house, she was sitting on the couch. As I expected she responded in a dramatic way. I had to take out all the pieces in my mouth to talk to her. While I did this, I touched more teeth by accident and they broke off.
When I wanted to call the dentist she at first did not think this was the best idea. She said I had other appointments this day.. but I felt that going to the dentist in this situation was way more important.
In the end we did contact the dentist.

First the dentists assistant saw me, she said it looked like osteoperosis (means porous bones) and had me go to the dentist herself right away.
The dentist wanted me to come into the treatment room and suddenly I got really nervous.
It is a bit strange but I was nervous because I remembered making love with someone, and I was scared that the dentist would be able to smell this.
I asked the dentist if I could go to the toilet first and she allowed me so I escaped for a moment.

The toilet turned out to be strange. It was lokated in the same building, which now looked like a bussy hospital. I went intside, closed the door but then it turned out that there where no real walls around. So in a way everyone could see me. This was a bit of an acstract thing so I cannot really explain how it looked.
There was a second toilet next to this one, I could see it through a wall. I could not get there though, it was closed.

I 'had' to go back now and went, with fear.
The dentist had been talking to my mother while I had been away. She had already prescribed medication for me and I saw my mother putting this in her bag. Next to the dentist where more packages and the words on the medication said: "for extreme pain".
This of course made me very scared about the treatment I was going to have. The dentist wanted me to come and sit, so she could start but in a panic way I asked her what she was going to do to me.

She started a vague story about how I had been infected with a virus when I was a child. She said that sometimes people that where infected themselves, would cut themselves with a knive, and then put this knive on the street so that children could be cut by accident.. and the intention was to give them the virus too.
She said it was possible that this was how I had been given the virus.

I did not understand any of it, and still did not know what she was going to do. I was scared she would start pulling out all the teeth that where loose. And I was scared about the pain that would come, since she had already prescribed such heavy painkillers. Also, when she told the story about how children got this virus, it seemed she was not telling something. Something that she had discussed with my mother. In their eyes it was like protecting me from some kind of knowing, but for me it felt terrible to be in the dark about what was happening.

After a silence I asked if I the reason for all of this was not just low levels of calcium and zinc.

Here it ended.
I am really a bit confused about this dream. It holds such odd things like knive with the virus on it, but also the toilet and the fear that the dentist would smell that I had made love one time.. so odd.

I really hope someone here understands it better then me, I would very much appreciate an interpretation. Very sorry that it is such a long post. My dreams tend to be a bit long like this.

Well, dreams about teeth falling out are a very common type of dream.

In your dream, because the teeth are breaking, it makes me think that the dream has to do with a loss of strength, that something is making you feel weak. This could be physical or emotional.

Since your mother has a phobia of the dentist in waking life, the dream could be about facing your fears, maybe thinking about what it is that has been making you feel weak.

You are also concerned about your appearance in the dream; that could be related to thoughts about what other people think of you. Maybe others are noticing your weakness. The idea of appearances and what people think of ou could also be related to your being worried that the dentist would smell that you had made love to someone.

Everyone being able to see you in the toilet is also related to worrying about what people think of you when you are in a vulnerable (weak) position.

The virus that you were infected with in a child could be anything from your past that has had a negative effect on you and weakened you in someway.

Teeth falling out in a dream can also have to do with growing older and moving on (losing your baby teeth) so the dream could have to do with getting over bad memories from your past and learning how to become stronger (put your teeth back together.)

The part where you ask about low levels of calcium and zinc could be your mind's way of trying to make sense of all this without you having to look at difficult things in your past, or it could be a message to you about a potential physical problem.

Hey there Marcia,
A very big thank you for that you took the time for this very much appreciated.

I had to think about it all a little bit but could it be that the loss of teeth/being weak might have something to do with a financial situation?
I always have difficulties with finances, I have ADD and its very hard to keep a steady job, to work enough and to earn enough. I always have too little money and it goes very far sometimes. Often I cannot buy new shoes when I need them, even when I usually only have one pair. Or a new winter coat after having used the same one for some years already, things like that. I can never go to a sports club or do something extra, like other people of my age do.
I do worry about how I look for other people, because of the lack of money I wear clothes that are a bit old and often I do not do the same things as they do (like the sports or extra things people usually do) Maybe others see that, I worry that they do.
I feel lots of shame for not being able to create a stable and secure life, money wise. I often wonder about why I am so weak compared to others of my age (27).
So what you wrote reminded me of all of this, it seems to fit.

This feeling of being different then others, and worth less then others, carries itself into all the other directions of my life. When I, for example fall in love, I worry so much about how I look towards this person. I cannot buy nice clothes to look better, cannot do things to replace old things in my house, cannot buy good hair products or things like that. I look simple in every way, and a bit dull probably. I cannot show my true nature, which is creative, I would wear lots of color and new age like clothes, because that is part of who I am. Usually people express themselves in how their houses look, their clothes look etc. Other people can see from that who they are. I feel unsure about how others will see me if I cannot do these things.

I do not understand completely yet why, In the dream I worried about the dentist smelling that I had made love to someone.
But maybe it could be connected to my shame about myself and my feelings of being worth less then people that make enough money to look good.

You write that the virus might be about something that happened in my childhood, that weakened me somehow. That is a possibility, some hard things did happen when I was younger.
Also, the virus might be about some time ago. A couple of years ago I got a virus that is like pfeiffers disease, not the same but its family of this virus.
It drained me completely for a long time, and made my problems worse.
Also in that time I had a low level of calcium and zinc in my blood, so maybe my mind just remembered this 'weak' time and someone combined it with other things in the dream.
The tiredness caused by the virus that I have had, never completely left me. It did for the biggest part, but usually I am way more tired then other people. I do not have a lot of energy and need a lot of rest most of the time. This also looks dull and uninteresting for other people.

Yes, the weakness could have to do with a financial situation.

Thanks, sorry for my long posts. I like dreams a lot and I like figuring them out for myself, so I tend to 'not stop' writing lol.
I also found out about a physical problem that I have, yesterday. I am not sure if I can connect it with the dream but its an interesting coincidence.

Well, you were seeing your doctor about a possible heart condition. Were you already planning on seeing the doctor about this before you had the dream?

There is definitely a connection between heart disease and tooth/gum problems.

People with heart murmurs often have to take antibiotics before they have any dental work done.
