  • Husband spitting out his teeth at me was created by Dawn816
    Hi
    I am the type of person that doesn't dream (what I mean is, if I do, they are not prominent). However, last night I dreamt that I came home from work and when I saw my husband he spat out his teeth at me. I just saw all these teeth and I was soaking wet! He then opened his mouth and he only had 2 or 3 left in his mouth and he said he had pulled them out.

    Because this was a really vivid dream, I thought I would have a look and see if I could find anything. I could find a general interpretation if I had spat teeth out, but not if someone spat their teeth out at me.

    Can someone try and explain this to me - does it mean anything or is it just a "nonsense" dream?
    Thank you
    Dawn

    Dreams are never "nonsense." They are expressions of YOUR feelings about your waking life at the time of the dream. Put another way dreams are you talking to you about how you feel about that which is most important to you in your waking life. Not knowing what was going on in your life at the time of the dream (and specifically with your husband), and how you felt IN the dream, it's hard to be exact. But, you gave us enough clues for us to get you started on understanding its meaning. (Only the dreamer can validate the meaning of his or her dream.)

    It would seem from your description that your husband was/is mad at you. The symbol of spitting up at or all over someone (vomiting) is a common symbol that seems to apply. To see if you concur, here's a link to its definition: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/vomit.html

    In the dream, your husband got you "soaking wet" in the process. Water is a metaphor for emotions in a dream. In short, he drenched you in his emotions. The interesting twist to/variation in your dream is that he threw up his teeth on/at you. You'll probably recall from your research of teeth in a dream, that they are all about appearances. dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/teeth.html

    One possible interpretation is that you feel that your husband is/was so mad at you that it feels like he has or will vomit all over you about the problem/issue, even at the expense of his "appearance" to you. The fact that it occurred after you returned home from work, may be a clue as to the cause of his upset. Could it be related to his feelings about the impact your work is having on your relationship or him?

    If you don't mind, it would helpful me and others reading this thread if you would provide a little bit of waking life background to this dream, so that we can see how and why the symbols are and behaved as they did in your dream.

    The best thing about your dream is that it is telling you (not that you don't know it consciously already), that your husband is angry enough to vomit all over you about something, regardless of what it might do to appearances, his or your marriage. You are clearly aware that there is a problem in your dream. Your sensitivity towards him is the best way for him to regain his composure and get his smile back.

    By the way, everyone dreams about 100 minutes a night. The trick is remembering them. To do so, wake up slowly. Your dreams will always let you know your feelings about what is right or wrong in your life. Monitoring them closely is a great way to catch an issue or problem before it leaves you all wet (sorry, couldn't resist.)

    Good luck!

    Hi Stella
    Thank you for your very interesting reply. Let me give you some background.

    My husband has a chronic illness (chronic pancreatitis), is diabetic and suffers with neuropathy in his legs, he is an alcoholic (but has been dry for 3 years now on and off)

    He does not work and does not receive any form of income, that means I am the breadwinner. He does get angry with himself because he knows that the condition he is in now is self inflicted and he has no control over the money or how we spend it, simply because the minute I let him have any money he buys drink.

    We don't have a car or holidays (which he would love to have) simply because we cannot afford it.

    I work fulltime at work and I am responsible for all the household duties (cooking, cleaning etc.) although he does as much as he can when he has a "good" day.

    In light of all this it would be good to try and understand why he would be angry with me :S

    If you need any further information, please let me know.
    Thanks
    Dawn

    Hi Dawn -

    Thanks for revealing the waking life circumstances that clearly generated your dream. So sorry to hear about the problems you both have been experiencing.

    Your dream reflects your feelings about your husband's challenges. Although the symbol of vomiting is relevant, you gave no hint that it was "smelly" or full of bile. He's essentially "raining on you," purging his emotions about his situation. The symbol of him spitting up his teeth at you, would seem to reflect your awareness that he has abandoned all concern about appearances... so much so that he actually pulls his own teeth out. What a strong metaphor for self-destructive behavior... perhaps an allusion to his addiction. While that's not necessarily the way addictions work, that may be the way it feels to you.

    Your dream is a cry for help. But, your dream is pretty clear about the fact that you may not be the best person to help, because you feel (as expressed in the dream) that you may or will get "drenched" in the process. You never said how you felt IN the dream (surprised, horrified, scared, worried, etc.), but it must have been upsetting. Feelings in dreams are never disguised, so however you felt in the dream is how you really feel about the current situation.

    I understand that money is tight, but given the circumstances, your husband would benefit from counseling. If you haven't broached the subject, your dream might be a good way to do so. Dreams are often less threatening to discuss because they are illustrative of feelings, and feelings are constantly evolving and changing as life does. There are many different resources out there that can provide help from support groups to clinics that charge on a sliding scale based on need.

    Good luck and God bless.
