he told me his dreams 4 as he wakes up less rested than the night before. I had a dream my teeth fell out again, he said. This time they fell out one by one, first slowly, then faster. Sometimes they all fall out at once, sometimes they fall one row at a time. I try to stuff them back into my mouth. What is this supposed to mean? I don’t understand. I just don’t understand these dreams. What does it mean when you dream your teeth fall out, when you dream it regularly? I think it means I’m afraid of commitment. No, I said, it means you’re pregnant. That didn’t go over well with him. And he walked to the washroom, brushed his teeth, made sure to floss, like he would four more times that day Copyright Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved.
