Need to vent about my dream!

[Loves]

Okay,
This might sound strange, gross or even weird.

So I've been writing about this in my journal, i just need support and encouragement. Ever since I got my denture I've been having crazy dreams about them breaking in front of people and people laughing and saying ew gross! And then I accidentally swallow them.

I feel like I am the only one who keeps having these crazy dreams and feel like it's not normal. So I am wondering if someone has similar dreams. i don't even know if this is stress related. And then part of keeps thinking that I should be over this by now it's been a year, but nope. So then I wake up right away and check my denture to make sure it's okay

So can someone please give me advice or a word of encouragement!

Gosh, that's the most normal thing! Dreaming about a fear is really common. My common dream is that I'm talking to people and then I realise I'm not wearing the denture and I'm like OH SH*T. Our brains are just weird that way. And before I got my denture, I dreamt about my teeth all the time.

Try not to worry about it. The more the dreams worry you, the more likely they are to occur. I still get that dream, but much less nowadays. Just remind yourself that it's only a dream, it's hugely unlikely to happen in real life, and eventually, the dreams should happen less, or worry you less when they do.

Thank you so much for that kind reply! It's nice to know I'm not alone and that is actually
normal to be having dreams like that.
