I dreamt that my teeth were coming out, but underneath there were the baby teeth (I know this is backwards since your adult teeth come in under the baby teeth). I pulled all of them out myself, and the new ones seemed to be growing in. I remember thinking "my new teeth look like Miranda's from Sex and the City" and I kept smiling, hoping the teeth were growing fast enough to fit my adult-sized mouth.

Any dream interpreters here? Thanks!

Part of the hardest work I did when first studying my dreams was to learn my unique dream vocabulary. Each of us uses different images as metaphors in unique ways which evolve over time.

Some common ones in the dream group I was in for many years included
--teeth as resources
--teeth as a bridge
--teeth as rites of passage

The third would seem to fit your dream. What do you think? Are you making progress in therapy?

That's a big one, take time to look up several interpretations around the net.

I vividly remember two dreams I had in the space of a week about my teeth where they were rotting and crumbling, and at that stage I was going through some pretty heavy pressure at work. Never had the dream again once the week was over and the stress subsided. Are you going through some kind of pressure at the moment?

Maybe you were grinding your teeth in your sleep? This is a well-known phenomenon.

actually, I always grind my teeth (I gotta find that bleeping mouth guard soon!) so I don't think it was that. I looked it up on the internet and a lot of it said insecurity. I deal with that every day. as far as recent stresses, it could be my financial issues which have been crashing down on me in the past few weeks. I'll let you know if I have any more tooth-dreams after I pay my taxes.

thanks for everyone's input!
