For about two months now, I've been having dreams almost every night where my teeth fall out - sometimes one at a time, sometimes all at once. I always wake up anxious and I don't know if it's just stress or if it means something. Have you guys ever experienced this?
These dreams are usually tied to stress, anxiety, or major life changes, not to something physically wrong with you - it's basically the most common recurring dream among anxious people. If they've been going on for two months, it probably means there's something worrying you in the background, maybe even without you realizing it: changes at work, relationships, money, anything really. Try thinking about whether something significant happened in these past two months or if your stress levels have generally gone up; often when you manage to figure out what's causing it and deal with it, the dreams stop on their own.
Have you had any major changes in the last two months - like a new job, relationship issues, moving? Because yeah, stress is the most common culprit, but the thing others don't really point out is that if the dreams are this frequent and you're waking up anxious, it might not be enough to just say "it's only stress" and call it a day - maybe it's worth figuring out what specifically is weighing on you right now. Two months is long enough for this to start affecting your sleep quality, and at that point some serious self-reflection is worth it, not just shaking off the anxiety.
