Weird, I have the failing a class dream and the teeth falling out dream all the time!

Wonder what this is all about?

I have the teeth falling out dream a lot… I blame it on having braces for over 4 years. I heard it had to do with money and vanity though, not about your mother.

Yep - I have this same exact dream too.
For me, it’s always the same class every time I have the dream. Some class I took junior year about semantics and the history of language.
BOOM - I’ll suddenly realize I’ve been forgeting to go, and we were only allowed three absences.

BTW - happy belated birthday!

My dream is similar - it’s always standing at a locker and forgetting the combination - knowing all my books are in there and I need them. To this day I cannot stand combination locks! Refuse to have them!

I have the teeth falling out dream, too. Or at least, I used to have it a lot - I don’t have it as much in recent years. I think I remember reading once that it has something to do w/ feelings about one’s mother. I don’t understand how that works though.

I have a similar reoccuring dream. Also, I also have my teeth are falling out reoccuring dream. I didn’t have that one though until I had veneers.
The dreams is present day and I end up having to go back to school to finish.

I have that dream - ahem, nightmare - too!! I’ve been having it for YEARS. I know several of my friends have it, too. I think it’s probably a common “panicky” dream.

Your dream could be telling you that worry gets you no place. You wake before you playout the ending…this is your mind allowing you complete the dream in life.
I have a dream kind of like this where I forget about a class or never go until a week or so is left and then I stress myself to tears…I’ve never seen the ending in my dream. I worried so much about class while in college that I feel like I didn’t enjoy the experience. Sometimes we worry too much about life that we don’t enjoy going through it. I’m not talking about the parties, drinking, friends and other things - I’m talking about money, bills, job…those things can become huge burdens if we allow them to and then we can’t enjoy life.
I also have this dream where I’m falling - I never hit the bottom but I feel this tells me when I’m living life out of control.
And another dream I have is where I’m playing basketball in high school and I can’t walk without falling. Everyone is yelling at me to pass the ball but I can’t. I dream this one when I feel as if I’m letting everyone down in my life.
It’s ok to dream - it’s the mind’s way of reliving what is going on in your life. Don’t try to understand them for “truth” - try to relate them to what’s going on around you. You have stated many times that life seems to just go on and you are watching it - maybe you need to have a new direction or goal to focus on. Take classes towards a new degree or interest. Don’t go back full time just take one class. You can do most classes online. Re-center yourself and maybe this dream will do away.
