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.
