Series 7, Episode 4: HELP! My Teeth Are Falling Out…What Do Scary Teeth Dreams Mean?

In this fun episode Laura is joined by co-host Rina Malin to investigate this age-old dream of our teeth falling out and what it might mean. Laura discusses her own childhood trauma around breaking a front tooth and going to the dentist and they look at whether this prevalent dream – or should that be nightmare? – is linked with old fears, anxieties and stresses. Is it linked with the psychological impact of impending life changes and transformations? They discuss Freudian and Kleinian psychodynamic theories about elimination and the annihilation of Self. As a drill starts up in the background they joke about being in the dentist chair and Dracula while looking at theories around teeth representing power, strength and survival and how an animal baring its teeth as a warning has evolved into the human smile.   Your dreams are worth inquiring about too!
