Dreaming about something in your mouth you cannot get out
What does it mean to dream your mouth is full of something?
The characteristic report is obstruction: a mouth full of hair, of grit, of something the dreamer cannot identify, and the specific frustration of not being able to clear it.
Dreamers often describe reaching in and finding more, which is the same multiplying structure the teeth reports contain: a quantity nothing is tracking, regenerated larger each time attention returns.
That makes this the counting failure arriving in the most intimate possible place, which is why the reports are so much more distressing than the abstract versions.
The unable-to-speak entry has a stronger physiological explanation and this entry defers to it where speech is the content.
Where this reads well
Placing it with the counting failure explains why clearing it never works.
Where it is harder
Among the more unpleasant bodily reports here, and the sensation can persist on waking.
Worth asking yourself
Did more keep appearing? Could I speak? Was my mouth dry when I woke?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
