I dreamt that all my teeth came loose in my mouth and I spit them out in groups of 4 or 5 at a time, into my hands. They looked like shoepeg corn kernels. My mom was there in the dream, and my auntie. They asked, "How many teeth?" and I counted and said "32." They both nodded as if they knew. How did they know?
When I woke up I grabbed my phone and asked it how to interpret this dream, and how many teeth were in the adult mouth, because, I didn't know that. 32 sounded like a lot of teeth to fit in some people's mouths. I've had some teeth dreams in the past but they weren't as explicitly graphic as this one.
Of course we have maximum 32 teeth (with wisdom teeth included.) That totally freaked me out.
And the intepretations of the dream include loss of control, feeling the onset of the uglies, loss of control, upcoming illness or loss of a loved one, loss of control.
So I got the hell out of bed and spent that extra hour we all got in part of the U.S. cooking pumpkin-chorizo-green chile chili (don't tell Salty D. about the pumpkin) and some breakfast and some chicken and...
It was a kind of a sucky end to a fun night of dancing and eating at the wedding reception. The party had included groomsmen rapping along to Jump Around and more jumping to the Black Eyed Peas, and more jumping to Mickey and I think my ankles are still in shock from jumping-too-much-in-high-heels. It pretty much looked and felt like this (except without the splits.) Awesome video I had never seen until 5 minutes ago, although I want to punch the guy in the big hat:
I have teeth dreams ALL THE TIME -- they crumble like dust or they're attached to my gums by ropes that I can't wind up small enough to get the tooth back on properly (the rope goes under the hollow tooth, you see).
Seriously, I've had teeth dreams since I was a kid. I've read those same interpretations. Huh. I often think they're not about control or death but that I don't want to lose my perfect teeth (my parents paid a lot of good money for them!). So, I vote for vanity.
That chili sounds awesome! I made plain chili yesterday and feel like such an underachiever now! Soooo glad canned pumpkin is back on the shelves . . . I stocked up for waffles, pies, cakes, sauces.

The teeth crumbling out in the mouth was such a gross real feeling. the dream intepreters said the teeth dreams are even more common in menopausal women. Something to look forward to.
(adding pumpkin to almost any food is a happy thing!)
