Psychology interprets dreams of seeing teeth
Dream Interpretation: In dreams, the adult body symbolizes a person’s complete image (including their personality and characteristics) or conscious self. When a person is still an infant, their body becomes their most important source of information.
Psychological Analysis: According to traditional dream interpretation methods, teeth in dreams represent a person’s aggression. However, according to more accurate explanations now, they should represent the process of development and growth. The growth, loosening, and falling out of teeth are similar to a person transitioning from childhood to adulthood and then slowly aging. When someone fears their teeth falling out in a dream, it actually signifies fear of becoming old and useless or unwillingness to grow up into an adult. If women dream about swallowing teeth into their stomachs, it is related to pregnancy.
