Tuo on vanha uskomus, joka ei todellakaan pidä paikkaansa. Unet hampaiden irtoamisesta ovat todella yleisiä ja tavallisia. Yleisesti niiden katsotaan merkitsevän joko pelkäämistä jonkin menettämisestä tai uuden alkua elämässä.
Itsekin näin muutama yö takaperin unen, jossa kiskoin itse irti kaikki hampaani.
Tässä yksi tulkinta Jeremy Taylorin sivulta:
"Teeth" in the dream world are most often an archetypal image of the dreamer's sense of confidence and competence in the waking world. Dreaming that there is something amiss with my teeth usually points to insecurities about my ability to "get my teeth into it," or maybe I've "bitten off more than I can chew."
Ironically, the very fact that you remember such a dream is a reliable indicator that the you, the dreamer, can deal creatively and transformatively with the problems that life presents. If this were not the case, you would not even have remembered the dream. All dreams (even nightmares!) come in the service of health and wholeness, and no dream ever came to anyone to say, "Nyah, nyah--you've got these problems and you can't do anything about them!" The more emotionally charged, or urgent the dream, the more likely that it points to a creative possibility previously hidden from the conscious mind, in response to a pressing waking life problem.
