A Bony Nightmare

Some dreams are deadly

Dreams, they say, have meanings. I definitely agree with that! They can be used as a tool to predict future events by way of bad omens or favorable signs. Even in the Bible, dreams foretold what was about to happen, and Joseph himself was gifted with the skill and knowledge to interpret dreams.

I’ve heard from many people before that once you had a dream that involved losing your tooth, it means an impending death of a close relative. Even some of my relatives can attest to that. This avenue of mystery is yet again what science could not just explain.

I had numerous dreams that involved losing a tooth or two, and therefore I was wise to bite something made of wood so as to prevent the imminent death from coming. What will I lose if I did the biting anyway? That’s so much better than losing a relative if this certain dream interpretation really is correct.

For the nth time this afternoon while I had my nap, I dreamt I pulled my one and only bad tooth (this dreams occurs frequently). But this time it was kind of the worst: when I pulled that tooth out by my bare hands, a facial bone that was connected to it was detached too. It’s a funny dream I know, but when I tried to reassemble it some other bones were detached too, to the point that there were already around five major bones from my head that I lay on the bed while figuring out how to get them back correctly to where they should be. But in my dream, that was very hard, even with my anatomy book propped open against the pillow. I was really worried in my dream. I was restless. I didn’t know how to mend my bones back. It was horrible.

Good thing I turned over in my sleep and awoke. The nightmare was over. But there was this certain question that got me: what could that mean, and why do I always dream of losing a tooth or two whether accidentally or purposively? I need to know, or should that be better left unknown?
