Molars in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Molar, Back teeth, Back tooth, Side teeth, Side tooth, Wisdom teeth, Wisdom tooth

What it means

PROCESS — how you absorb and work things through. Molars grind and break down tough material, working quietly out of sight: they speak of wisdom, deeply held beliefs, and what you have been digesting over time.

Core convictions and long-held beliefs

Lessons formed through maturity and lived experience

Meditation — the side teeth in the Teeth entry

✦ When it is positive

Meditating on and digesting what you have received
Wisdom and maturity formed by experience

⚠ When it is a warning

A crisis of foundational beliefs
The painful digestion of a hard life lesson

How to tell the difference

UPPER MOLARS = what you are absorbing from your experiences and allowing to settle within you. LOWER MOLARS = what you are actively working through, processing, or trying to understand. When a molar aches, breaks or falls it often points to a crisis of foundational beliefs or the painful digestion of a hard life lesson; a growing molar points to maturity and increase. Breaking = damage or weakening, falling = removal or loss, growing = development or increase.
