last night I had a very clear and particular dream about my teeth becoming loose, then chipping and/or falling out / coming out

it was so realistic I still remember what it feels like

i mean i lost basically all the teeth on the right side of my mouth and the left was starting in on the action by the time i dragged myself out of it

but i actually felt it, even in the dream

would anyone like to take a stab at some interpretation here?

(humorous interpretations also acceptable)
(i could use a laugh)
(i mean i'm pretty sure it means "anxiety" in some form)
(because guess what my life is made of)
(but seriously)
(it was mad vivid)
(and exceptionally creepy)
(send help)

If I'm remembering right, general dream interpretation holds that teeth-dreams (apparently really common) are supposed to signify fear of aging, death, and change.

Personally I don't believe in stuff like that, especially since symbolism and associations can be really personal. But I do know that I have bad teeth dreams when I stress too much, largely because I grind my teeth and sometimes the pain, I think, triggers dreams about it.

If you're waking up with a sore mouth irl, consider getting a mouth guard?
