I used to have similar dreams but I also had very bad teeth & the enamel never formed well on them so they were always cracking & breaking.....& I always was grinding my teeth. Interesting because they say that comes from stress & my parents had no idea why in the world I would be stressed. Looking back, I know exactly why because I pushed myself to do well in school & well in everything so that I would be nothing like my parents. I had a horrible relationship with my parents & I was always fighting with them so I think that is what kept me grinding my teeth even during the summers & times when I wasn't in school.

When I got married I ended up in a bad marriage so the stress continued & so did the grinding of my teeth & the dreams of my teeth falling out.

It's ironic because all my teeth have broken off & I have an appointment with the oral surgery group at the UK dental school to have them assess & make the arrangements for all my teeth to be pulled....& I have more surgery that needs to be done in order for the dentures to be able to fit because I have a soft bony growth on the back of my lower jaw that has to be removed also.

You said:
that really hit me because I had parents who weren't capable of communicating with & when I got married, I married a man who I have come to realize has Asperger's & there was NO WAY of communicating logically with him.....so that does seem to fit into my situation also. Who knows, maybe it's a whole combination of things & not just one thing that causes the problem.
