W – Naked dreams don’t bother me either. Maybe because we know we can always control our state of dress or undress, but teeth are damn uncontrollable things.

Sounds like an anxiety dream to me – I have had plenty of them over the years. In one of them I forget to wear my socks and only realize it when I have to walk somewhere without them … kind of my version of the “realizing your nude” dream – since I have a thing about not taking my socks off in public. (I don’t know, just always have)

Amusingly the actual “nude” dreams don’t bother me one bit – sometimes I’ll be in a dream and I’ll realize I’m naked and that’s it, nothing dramatic, I’m just sans clothing. (I imagine it’s a dream about freedom from constraints, something to that effect)

I have often had dreams about crumbling teeth, and teeth falling out – doesn’t help that I’ve had fillings break on me in the past, so I know very well what the sensation feels like. (and I used to snap my teeth in my sleep – few things worse than waking up from a deep sleep to realize you’ve split a tooth from snapping your jaws)

Clint – my advice: Sue! At least try to get enough to have the situation fixed at her cost rather than yours!

That would be frustrating. Maybe your subconscious is economising, not filling in the surrounding scenery (and hopefully saving up its efforts for writing!)

I get dreams where I can’t see properly. It’s like my vision only works if I look right down, and trying to look around just doesn’t work. Very frustrating.

The being unable to speak is a fairly frequent one for me; I never get to talk much in my own dreams. I quite often find myself being made to do things I don’t really want to do, and not being brave enough to get out of the situation. I’m spineless enough in waking life, but even more spineless when I’m asleep!

Oooh, ick, the very description of the dream gives me the creepy-crawlies.

I’ve never had a dream where anything happened to my teeth, though I have had dreams where I was rendered unable to speak for whatever reason.

Colin — I feel lucky that I’ve only dreamed about this once…

Clint — Jesus fuck!! What are you going to do? Can an oral surgeon fix it, I wonder?

I always have dreams where my teeth crack and crumble outof my mouth. I have a real-life nightmare right now b/c the dentist seriously screwed up and now I’ve got a swathe of jawbone exposed about the size of my little finger. I hope she gets cancer and that she somehow gets to watch her parents die at the same time.

I hate those kinds of dreams.
They always freak me out and i spend the start of my day making sure my teeth are still well planted in my skull
