Teeth Dreams

Although we addressed this in class (thanks to Tim's computer) there is a lot of literature online about teeth dreams, and just to recap and add a couple other common symbols teeth are seen as when present in dreams: hopeless and helplessness (because teeth are seen as a symbol of power, or because of the powerlessness the dreamer feels when her teeth are being lost), fear of change, fear of aging, fear of loss of attractiveness, fear of being lied to, fear of giving away secrets, representations of anxiety or humiliation, a representation of an inability to nourish or more abstractly support yourself, insecurity and fear of abandonment, fear of failure, fear of having something that needs to be hidden, anxiety over how other perceive in you, fear or rejection, fear of sexual impotence, difficulty expressing yourself and fears of not being heard.

There are probably infinitely more possible interpretations, but you get the idea.
