Dirty Dream


   
        I dreamt about my teeth falling out just this morning. I woke up crying because of the terrifying realistic vivid images my dream has left me to reimagine with. My hands were clenched into fists because in my dream, I desperately held my fallen teeth, (2 teeth to be exact). I saw my hands and they ached because of the force I used to protect my teeth. I cried for my mom twice and she came to my rescue. Due to her obsession with superstitions, I was immediately asked to bite a piece of wood while tears rushed out of my eyes. Apparently, in our culture, this meant that there's an impending death of a someone we know. I forced myself to carefully bite our furniture's arm rest on my knees.

I researched about this dream. And often it would tell me that I have some insecurities with the way I look, or I just ended a relationship, or the fear of getting a new job, pretty much transitional stuff about this. And also one way of interpreting your own dreams is that, try to imagine the emotion you felt in your dream, and look for situations in your life wherein you felt the same way.

So, my fear of my teeth falling out's emotion is total anxiety and helplessness might be connected to my weight gain, getting a new job and being far from the person i love.

Actually, I dreamt twice about teeth falling out. But the last one is a level higher in intensity. It felt more real and painful. More vivid and disturbing.

Must be the story of my life.
