the scary toof
i keep dreaming that my teeth are falling out. this is not a laughing matter, folks. everything is fine until i feel a molar become loose. so i put my hand to my mouth and it just rots out of my mouth. then, as if on cue, the others start falling out like dominoes. and i usually have something important the next day, like a job interview, and all i can think is “i wonder if they’ll notice i have gaping holes in my mouth.” and veneers are not an option because it’s a NIGHTMARE, and nothing works out in nightmares! but i do sometimes think about hilary duff and her fake white teeth and i’m afraid that i will become a C-list singer and have fake white horse teeth like her one day, too, and then i wake up in a cold sweat.
according to the a website called “dream moods”:
“Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life.”
according to my uncle/dentist’s dental technician right before she expertly stuffed my mouth full of gauze:
“That means someone is going to die.”
“Sorry, what?”
“Well I’m Dominican and in my family, that’s what it means.”
“Thanks for your helpful input!”
