Losing teeth and the Inevitable Fall

"Last night I dreamed all my teeth were already wobbly, and I could feel it so vividly—like I had to keep trying just to hold them in place. No matter what I did, I knew they were going to come out. By the end, one of my back molars broke apart and completely fell out, even though I was doing everything I could to keep it there. I ended up at a dentist, but he told me nothing could be done and that all my teeth would eventually fall out. Even when I didn't go to the dentist, there was this dreaded feeling of finality, like it was already decided. I woke up and, for a second, was surprised that all my teeth were actually solid and firmly set in my mouth."
