You no longer need to look for meaning in a dream book – scientists from Israel’s leading Ben-Gurion research university have given a scientific explanation to dreams in which people’s teeth fall out or break. The study was published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Psychology.
One of the most common dream scenarios is tooth loss. Over the years such visions have been explained in different ways. Some said that the dream indicates the inability to make an important decision in life. Others believed that this meant that there were malicious people in the immediate vicinity.
In the study, researchers interviewed 210 people aged between 18 and 28. Participants filled out surveys about dream themes, stress levels, sleep quality and mouth sensations. As a result, scientists found a significant connection between dreams about teeth and irritation of teeth upon waking. So people who dreamed of their teeth falling out were more likely to report feeling tight in their teeth, gums, or jaw when they woke up.
The study found that teeth-related dreams were not associated with psychological stress or sleep quality, as psychologists have previously reported.
