I’ve had that dream so often that I finally decided to see if it meant something, so I consulted the Internet. Since (as I discovered) losing ones teeth is a common dream, there is a lot of information out there about it.

Apparently, if I dream about loosing my teeth it means that I am anxious about my physical appearance, I’m worried about loosing control, and (my personal favorite) my lies have been hurting somebody badly, and I will soon be found out. I "will soon be found out," on and off since high school.

So if that’s what loosing a tooth means, what does getting a tooth put in mean? I have a theory. After I woke up the side of my face felt kind of numb, like I had been sleeping on it, and it had... well... fallen asleep.

The teeth dream might be something akin to another dream I have from time to time. The dream where I have to go to the bathroom, and I keep going, but it doesn't seem to help. Yeah, I figured out that one means I should wake up so I can go to the bathroom.
