There's a Filipino superstition that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then someone is going to die.
I had a nap this afternoon, in which I dreamt of all my teeth in the back of my mouth, just started falling out as I sat in a meeting on the first day of school at my new job. I went to the bathroom as my teeth fell out one by one into the sink. They jingled like brittle porcelain with their sharp roots still intact.
I wonder if each tooth that fell out of my mouth signifies one person's death, of if the number of teeth is insignificant to the number of people who might die. Morbid thoughts indeed.
