Dreams By Eric Suni October 30, By Austin Meadows November 11, By Sarah Shoen October 7, By Sarah Shoen July 22, Before understanding the meaning behind your dream, you should ask one question to yourself: Why would you dream of such a thing at all? The answer is a bit complex. Dream about Rotten teeth can be an indication of many things in your life. It may indicate your concern about your social status etc. Feelings that you may have encountered during a dream of a rotten tooth: Pain, anxiety, worry, sorrow, anguish, embarrassment, insecurity, ugly, or sad.
Rotten teeth dreams symbolize slowly losing something significant right in front of you. An important piece of your identity is decaying and fading away.
Being in such a situation is tough and requires insane inner strength to survive without spiritual and mental damage. This could be anything from feeling anxious about future events to feeling melancholic about your current situation.
Seeing rotten teeth is a sign of a loss in your life. The dream could point to a symbolic loss, such as during a period of change, or a real loss of something you used to rely on or was important to you. The rotten teeth in your dream may also represent something in your life that is slowly going away or changing. Teeth could symbolize health, physical appearance, but also your strength, sense of power. A dream representing rotten or rotting teeth could also be a warning about something that is not unfolding to your advantage in your life.
Here you need to introspect; something that somebody said or behavior you may have been undermining you in ways that feel demeaning, humiliating.
Teeth always had an important social part of our lives. Think about it: how attractive is a person with rotten teeth? Not very, right? Healthy teeth always had a strong appeal to humans. So, what does that have to do anything with you being afraid of the people?
Imagine losing something that is so needed to be perceived as a likable person. Having a rotten tooth in a dream is even worse. This is a death sentence for your social acceptance. Your mind is occupied with thoughts about your status in society. You are afraid of being judged. You are uncomfortable around the people because you seek too much for their acceptance. A rotten tooth is an obvious indicator of a health problem.
These people that have this personality trait are typically aware of it. Like the more teeth that come out, the bigger the deal is of what you said.
Did you only say half the story, so to speak? If they started splintering and splitting apart in the dream … Like crumbling teeth, Loewenberg warns that this might also have to do with weak speech. The splitting could be compared to what you said the day before in an argument with someone where you were to the point [of] just splitting hairs.
For example, I think I get it a lot because I go on the radio a lot and I explain dreams a lot. So that one would very much be you having anxiety about how you may now appear to others after what has been said. The crookedness also could be connected to lies. But it can also be connected to guilt over saying something that was really rotten and nasty. You wish you could just erase it. At this point, your subconscious is presenting it to you in this way, so you can decide, Okay, is it best to go ahead and speak up about this or to keep my mouth shut?
What is the best way to approach this?
