my dream come true!

ha, my post title insinuates that this is a good thing.

i dream periodically that my teeth are falling out. it's not a nice dream and the emotions and sensations are very real - it starts with one tooth, usually with a bit of my tooth still stuck in my gums (gross, sorry)...then more start to fall out, and i usually think to myself in an exasperated tone, "aww, not again!" as if this is completely normal.

this morning, i was eating my normal morning snack - which one would normally call breakfast but it's so small that i don't think it qualifies as breakfast - yogurt with granola. i'm usually watching tv or on the computer as i'm eating, so i'm not paying close attention to my food.

as i'm eating, i come across a particularly hard-as-a-rock piece of granola. i barely notice and continue to finish my yogurt. only when i'm finished do i notice that one of my back molars feels jagged. upon further investigation...yup, i chipped part of my tooth off...and since there is no telltale piece of tooth to prove it, i apparently also ingested it (ew, sorry again).

a while back, i looked into what it means to dream about your teeth falling out. it means that i'm very vain. hmmm. i probably think this song is about me, too.
