Ever since I can remember, I've had bizarre dreams involving my teeth. Most of these "dental dreams" have involved my teeth falling out, but I've had others as well--ones where I'm constantly chewing until my jaw hurts, or ones in which my teeth grow until they're the size of baseballs. I find I often wake up with clenched teeth when I have these dental dreams. It hurts.
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: "Yo, Dental Dreams Girl. I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but this is the worst blog of all time--of ALL TIME!"
I agree that the focus of this blog probably might not appeal to everyone. Frankly, I'd always thought I was weird and alone in my dental dreams. Perhaps I'd swallowed too much toothpaste as a child? However, the magic of Google search has shown me that dreams about teeth are actually eerily common. Am I the only one who finds it fascinating that dreams about teeth falling out are so very universal? What is it about this experience that causes it to reside in our collective subconscious?
I hope to make this blog into a place where I can document my dental dreams and share them with others. I also intend to do research into common dreams involving teeth. I'm skeptical of the idea that dreams have some deep psychological meaning, but it might be fun to explore that as well. Maybe others out there who experience frequent dental dreams like I do can share their stories, too! Who knows?
