This explains a lot, really. For the past couple of months, I've had several dreams of losing my teeth (which says much since I almost never have the same kind of dream twice). They grow back, I bite too hard, and they chip off again. Freaked me out when my mom made a big deal of my sister dreaming about losing her teeth. I didn't think it was too big of a deal then, but she said something about money loss or gain, depending on what time you dreamed it. I didn't mention the fact that during REM, dreams only last about 15 minutes and it's impossible to track what time you actually had them. Yeah, I'm a geek, but there you go.
Anyway, the analysis makes more sense than the money explanation. I worry like it's no one else's business.
