lol i love you

Mon Nov 16, 2009, 4:34 PM
I came to the realization today that I've been neglecting deviantART horribly. I mean, I check it, but I've been useless for postings of journals and deviations... not that I really have any of the latter to work with.

So, I read an Echo in the Bone, the newest novel by Diana Gabaldon. IT WAS SO GOOD. But what else is to be expected when she's the author? I'm just sad I'm poor and missed getting to see her in Kelowna or Surrey.

Now onto the main reason for this journal.

Some of you may remember, some of you may not - but I have these recurring nightmares. Now, they aren't your typical nightmares about monsters and death and scary things.

No, these nightmares - the only nightmares I ever have - are about teeth.

Breaking teeth. Missing teeth. Rotting teeth.

I thought it was just because I take great pride in my own teeth (only after I got them straightened though) or that one of the first things I notice in other people is their teeth.

No, evidently, according to Sam and Kim, it runs much deeper than that. They're in psychology, they'd know.

So Sam looked it up for me.

And this is why I have nightmares about teeth.

Loss of Control, Powerlessness and Vulnerability

The next time you dream about losing teeth, before trying to figure out what it means, ask yourself how the dream made you feel. Oftentimes, it is not the dream of the teeth falling out that creates the disturbance to the psyche but the feelings that accompany the dream. There is often a feeling of helplessness, of powerlessness--the teeth are coming out and there is nothing the dreamer can do to stop the process. Sometimes teeth fall out, sometimes they are simply missing, sometimes they crumble away. Whichever way they make their exit, the dreamer is left with not only a gap in her smile, but a hole in her heart when she awakens.

Fear of Change, Future Anxiety, Transition

If feelings of loss of control, helplessness or powerlessness accompany your tooth loss dream, the dream is typically acting as a mirror of a situation in waking life. Dreams of tooth loss coupled with anxiety reflect a fear of change, fear of transition. Ask yourself if there is some transition that you are fearful of making.

Fear of Failure, Embarrassment

Sometimes tooth loss dreams point to a fear of failure or embarrassment. In waking life, when people lose teeth, they often cover their mouths when talking or smiling. Is there something you want to do but are afraid of undertaking because you fear you'll look foolish if you fail? Or is there something going on in your waking life that you feel you must hide or 'cover up'?

Financial Insecurity, Malnutrition

Losing teeth in dreams can also point to insecurity about finances. In physical waking life, teeth are what we use to take in sustenance, to keep our bodies fit and nourished, and they are often lost when malnutrition is present. In order to take in nourishment we must be able to 'support' ourselves. Are you worried that you will lose the ability to take care of yourself or are you already not taking care of your needs? Nourishing ourselves comes in many forms, not just our bodily needs--we must nourish our minds, spirits, and hearts as well as our bodies. Is there any aspect of your life that feels like an empty hole?

Fear of Abandonment

Tooth loss dreams may also symbolize a fear of abandonment, of being left behind with no recourse. Look at your relationships and see if any of them are leaving you with feelings of insecurity.

Loose Lips Sink Ships

Another interesting way of translating tooth loss dreams may be a fear of giving away too much information, a spilling of secrets, or a fear of being lied to.

While most of these translations sound pretty grim, keep in mind that these are all symbols of how you are feeling. They are not prophecies of doom, or omens that all of the fears you're carrying around are on the verge of coming to pass. These dreams, like all others, are report cards from the psyche, clues to how our consciousness and unconsciousness is handling the events of our waking life. Understanding their nightly messages helps us more successfully navigate our daily activities--even the ones that scare us or fill us with feelings of dread.


I guess dreams of teeth are more common than I thought. So I'm not crazy about dreaming about teeth, but I am crazy for the whole explanation dealio.

Good to know why I dream about teeth, right?

Crispin Kramer would not be one to call himself a coward. But when he had seen Evangeline Moreau picking wildflowers a few kilometres away from Le Vallon, prickly fear had instantly overwhelmed him.

That fear had turned into outright panic when Belle Baudelaire leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Why not kill her, Crispin? Write a message in her filthy blood. Lucian would be proud.”

He didn’t want to tell her what he thought. He was sure Lucian already doubted Crispin, and sent him as the leader of the revolt in Auvergne to test his loyalties. Lucian Abendroth was no fool. In fact, he was a downright genius, of the insane psychopath variety.

Outright panic morphed into sweaty palms and shallow breaths when Samantha Boulanger and Genji Lee captured Moreau with ease and brought her to the rebels’ small campsite.

When that goddamned harlot Baudelaire circled him with that heated dark gaze upon him, silently taunting him. When Ivan Petrov and his wife, Katarzyna cooed taunts in English and Russian, prodding their prisoner with long, unwashed claws.

And when he felt a hand slide slowly up his back and curl over his shoulder, and when he felt breath kiss his face when Belle murmured, “Kill her, Crispin. Show the Arsenaults just who they’re dealing with.”

He couldn’t bear to look at Moreau. He could hear her stifled cries, her desperate pleas in a choked mixture of English and French. And when she struggled against her captors, Regina Carter had viciously slapped her, hard enough to shut her up and make Manfred Gottschalk grunt something about how pitiful she was.

Standing stock still, unable to move or speak, Crispin had done nothing when the aptly named Jezebel Baudelaire slithered up to him and lightly touched his cheek, gently grazing his skin with her pointed nails.

“You can’t do it?” she had breathed, giving him that pouty look that made every man—even Lucian Abendroth—melt and become a doting puppy to her every whim. “Too bad.”

And sweaty palms, shallow breaths, terror at what in the hell he was doing—it all became an indifferent haze when Belle ruthlessly kicked down Evangeline Moreau and crushed her skull with a single well-aimed stomp
