That moment you accept the dream rule about your teeth

I dropped about $80 on a custom night guard because I kept dreaming my teeth were crumbling. It actually stopped the dreams, which is wild because the logic was backwards. Anyone else have a physical fix for a recurring dream theme?

Did you ever try a mouth guard before the dreams started? I always figured dreams were just random brain noise, but your story makes me wonder if the body is sending signals first. That backwards fix working is pretty convincing. I might have to rethink how much physical stuff can leak into dreams.

Honestly felt the same way until my jaw pain started showing up in dreams too.

Yeah that's when I knew it was bad. My dentist said to try a soft food diet for a week, no gum. Honestly felt silly but it helped a ton. The dreams about my teeth hurting stopped after a few days of that. Guess my brain finally got the message my jaw was on a break.

That part about pain showing up in dreams is so real. It's like your brain has no off switch for the discomfort. Really glad the soft food thing helped shut that down.
