her elegance


i called my sister this morning and just about the first thing she told me was that she dreamt her teeth fell out. now, i'm not really the type to interpret a dream, but i know that falling teeth means something because of the way the subconscious mind processes the stress that may be prevalent in a conscious brain.
i looked it up.
one spin is that we live in a superficial culture where value is placed on beauty and the loss of teeth might make one less than desirable. falling teeth in that scenario could mean that the dreamer is lacking confidence in his or her looks and experiencing some sort of anxiety about their appearance.
then there's the fact that we use our teeth to bite, tear and chew and the loss of teeth could represent a sense of powerlessness that one is feeling in one's life. a feeling that life is beyond control...a feeling of inferiority. it could be a signal that one needs to assert themselves more in their waking life and that they need to believe in, and value, themselves more.
me? last night i had dream that my left ankle was really skinny and my right ankle was really fat. you know what dreaming about ankles means? it means that a person is seeking direction and support. both of which i have been looking for. i just have to ask myself...which way do i want to go...

I dreamed... spell check on dreamt?
...That my teeth were falling out, they were loose and I pulled them out, woke up in a sweat. My friend told me it means money problems, so the lose of control sounds spot on.
