Dreams of Teeth or Hair Falling Out

As odd as it may sound, many people dream of their teeth or hair falling out. In fact, dreaming of your teeth falling out is one of the top five most common dreams. What exactly do these types of dreams mean? There are a few interpretations but often, the interpretation for either dream is surprisingly similar.

Dreams of Teeth Falling Out

If you have a dream that your teeth are falling out, do not take it literally. You do not need to speed dial your dentist. When you dream your teeth are falling out, it can mean that you have been talking too much lately. Maybe you have been gossiping more than usual, maybe you have said the wrong thing to someone, or maybe you have been speaking without thinking first. This dream can tell you that you have been being too blunt with your speech. It may mean you have subconsciously realised that you said something that you wish you had not said. Look back at things you have said to people lately and see if there is really any one thing you said that seems inappropriate or mean. Did you say something improper at work or did you start an argument with your partner? Maybe you said something you regret to your child. Making amends for these statements can help ease your mind and might stop this dream, which can often be reoccurring.

If you cannot think of anything you have said that you regret, there may be another meaning to your dreams. Sometimes when we dream of our teeth falling out, we are actually concerned about our physical appearance. Think of how important your smile is to your looks. If you dream your teeth are falling out, you may actually be upset with some other aspect of your physical appearance and feel that you are unattractive. This is especially true if you dream you are looking into a mirror when you notice your teeth are falling out. As we age, many of us become worried about wrinkles and grey hair, but remember to tell yourself that you are still beautiful – not matter how old you are!

Dreams of Hair Falling Out

Just as with the dream of losing your teeth, you may also be holding a mirror in your dream when you notice your hair is falling out. When you dream your hair is falling out, you may actually be concerned about the decline in your sex appeal or attractiveness. You may be worried about getting older and be preoccupied with your appearance and the aging effects.

Dreaming of losing your hair may also mean that you fear you are losing your strength, just as Samson did. After all, since before the time of Samson, people have viewed having hair as a sign of youth and virility. This is confirmed by all the ads on television for products that help your hair growth.

If you have a dream that you are losing your teeth or hair, you may want to re-examine how you feel about yourself. Concentrate on your good points and try not to focus on things you cannot change that come with age.
