Teeth in a dream

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

Also: Tooth

What it means

Side teeth = your ability to meditate; front teeth = sharpness, pointing. Also: teaching diligently or teaching by repeated instruction (from Hebrew root 'Shanan').

✦ When it is positive

  • Meditation (side teeth)
  • Sharpness and pointedness (front teeth)
  • Teaching by diligent, repeated instruction

⚠ When it is a warning

  • To prick, to pierce
  • Hardness — like a cliff or steep obstruction

How to tell the difference

READ THREE THINGS IN ANY TEETH DREAM. (1) WHICH JAW: the upper jaw is what you RECEIVE — what is happening to you; the lower jaw is what you DO — what you are doing. (2) WHICH TEETH: front teeth PRESENT — how you present yourself, your image and expression; pointed teeth PROTECT — how you defend and assert yourself; molars PROCESS — how you absorb and work things through. See Front Teeth, Canines and Molars for the upper and lower reading of each. (3) WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM: a breaking tooth or broken teeth = damage or weakening, something difficult to sustain; a falling tooth or teeth = removal or loss; a growing tooth or teeth = development or increase. Treat a falling tooth as something being removed or a season closing, never as a prediction of death — counsel prayer and discernment, not alarm.

Scripture

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Deuteronomy 6:7 (WEB)
