a lot of teeth i was removing but mostly dead gums and teeth
Dreams involving teeth often symbolize concerns about appearance, self-esteem, or communication. Removing teeth, especially dead ones, can point to a desire to rid yourself of something outdated or unhealthy in your life. The dead gums and teeth may suggest that there are aspects of your life that you feel need to be released or transformed, possibly indicating feelings of decay or neglect related to certain situations or relationships.
This dream could signify a need for healing or a transitional phase in your life where you are trying to let go of past issues that no longer serve you. It might also reflect anxiety about aging or fears related to losing control over your own life or identity.
Consider the feelings you experienced during the dream and any current life circumstances that might relate to these themes. Reflecting on what you might want to 'remove' or 'heal' in your life can provide further insight into the meaning behind your dream.
