I dream of Teeth.

I don't know about you, but I have some strange dreams, one of which stands out.

Every so often I will have a dream that involves my teeth. I think I have pretty good teeth, except for one that needs some attention, but these dreams were happening since I was a teenager.

The dreams are mostly the same. The bottom row will either stick to the top row, or my jaw will lockup while the bottom row of teeth are behind the top when my mouth is closed. Then I become scared. Woried that if I force my mouth open, my teeth will break and shatter.

Now these dreams had been pretty much the same, then they changed where I would try to open my mouth. Can you guess what happens next? Thats right, my teeth will break, or they will fall out. In the dream world this scares me more. Thoughts of trying to explain what happends to my teeth run through my head.

A while back, I had something happen to a molar. I had some wisdom teeth grow through, and they must have caused some stress on one of my back molars, that while eating some fucking corn chips, the tooth broke, cracked, and fell to peices.

Sure, you would think it would hurt, but it didn't. Was I worried? No. I think these dreams kind of prepaired me for what happened. What is scary though is I still have the dreams.

I had one last night. This one was different. Not only did I break my teeth when I tried to open my mouth, but my fucking jaw broke too.

You might be thinking that is bad, but while I was removing the bits of teeth from my mouth, as not to swollow them, I also removed a peice of my jaw.

Now I don't want to ever experience the sensation my dream gave me while I pulled on the tooth and the jaw bone came through my gums, but it was really horrible. Luckily on the real world, there are tendons and stuff attached to the bone, stuff that should keep it in my face.

Now I don't know wha this latest dream is telling me. Thats if dreams have meaning. I like the idea that dreams are just views into another universe, but if that happened in another universe, then I feel sorry for the other me.

So dear reader(s), what crazy dreams have you had?
