I'm suprised lktknow was the first to mention the color aspect of dreams. I have always drempt in color but I've read that many people dream in black and white, too bad that wasn't a question, would've been interesting to see the breakdown for TFPers.
I too have the teeth falling out dreams, but mine didn't start until I had a tooth literally crumble and rot in a few weeks (it was pulled into place from the roof of my mouth w/ braces when I was 14, dr. said it was weakened). Ever since then, a few yrs. ago, I have dreams where either all my teeth will fall out at once and I'm spitting out a mouth full, or they will feel loose and I will slowly peel them off like they are stick-on fingernails. Gives me the willies.
For a few years I had constant dreams of flying. Instead of being exciting and freeing though, I was being pursued by something and had to fly to escape. Someone else mentioned flapping their arms, in mine I have to hold my breath and concentrate really hard to "mentally" flap wings and take flight, kind of in jerks and fits like a balloon being pumped full, up a little bit, down, up a bit further, down etc.. Once I'm airborne I then have to contend with not getting caught up in power lines everywhere. Very frustrating.
I found what Jinn said interesting. I have recurring dreams of being on precarious edges, clinging on for dear life from falling (major fear of heights). Also of loved ones dying or being hurt/in danger or becoming complete strangers in their behavior towards me.
One of the weirdest dreams I've ever had (don't remember specifics) was that my husband was my brother. It made sense, we've been together 20 years since we were 17 and know each other so completely. It was still really disconcerning in a "maybe we need to spice things up if that's what my subconcious thinks" sorta way. Too comfortable at times sure, but NEVER platonic, geez.
