Freud would have a field day with me.
I keep having this recurring dream. Well, not the same dream over and over -- details change, but the theme is the same.
I know recurring dreams are pretty common -- lots of people have them. But most people have recurring dreams that make some kind of sense, whether they're nightmares or happy dreams about flying or something. Me, well... my mom's response was "You are a very strange person."
I keep dreaming about my teeth. I dream that they all fall out for some reason, very suddenly, usually in public. Or I dream I can pull them out really easily and painlessly. The most fun version was the one where I discovered I could pull my teeth out easily, and as soon as I pulled one out, a new one would instantly grow in its place.
Last night I dreamed they were all rotting out. It was really gross, and disturbing. They were all black and mossy-looking and nasty, and no one I showed them to seemed to think it was a big deal.
I don't have any sort of dental hygiene fixation, either -- my dentist scolds me for not flossing regularly, but, y'know, I brush and all... I'm sure there's some deep and hidden meaning that will reveal some subconscious weirdness... or, like my mom said, I'm just a very strange person.
On a more fun side, I've been dreaming lately that my cat can talk -- the other night I dreamed she had this really deep Barry White voice. When I asked her what was up with that, she said "That's just how us cats talk." Made me wake up giggling.
I would post a message on the message board asking for your weird dream stories, but the site seems to be down. Hmmm. So, e-mail them to me instead.
