I keep having this reoccurring dream, or at least it's very similar from night to night.

I'm usually doing something, it varies from dream to dream, when I suddenly notice my one or several of my teeth become very loose in my mouth. It's usually my molars that are loose, for some odd reason. It's like when your a kid and you've got a loose tooth. Well, I begin to oh so gently wiggle it with my tongue subconsciously for a while. It's around this time, I realize my tooth, or teeth are loose, and I try to keep them in my mouth with my fingers, but it's futile as by then, the tooth literally dangles from a thread of flesh and gum. It's usually then that I notice my tooth or teeth, for some odd reason, have little to no root(s), like the tooth literally just dissolved in my mouth and left the crown part to fall out. At this point I can taste the warm saltiness of blood gushing forth from the socket as the tooth proceeds to fall out, despite my best effort to keep it from doing so.

In some dreams I'm holding the bloody tooth or teeth in my hands, running my tongue over the gaping spot where they once were, and crying with the realization that this is permanent and I will always have gaps in my teeth and as a result, will be disfigured. I sometimes even call out to Mom for help.

In one dream in particular, half the teeth on my upper jaw fell out, while the teeth on the opposite side on my lower jaw fell out. I was literally just scooping handfuls of teeth out of my mouth in that one.

I usually wake up with the same feeling and do the same ritual of running my tongue through my whole mouth to make sure all my teeth are there, and feeling insane relief to realize I was just dreaming.

Now, it should be noted that I have a penchant for grinding my teeth at night, so I wear a night guard. But these dreams always seem to persist. I've also done some research, and read that dreams where one's teeth fall out are symbolic of one not feeling like they are able to communicate in the way they'd like to. I do feel like I can't communicate with the opposite sex very well, could this be where my dreams are stemming from?
