And that was the TOOTH!!!

Ever have one of those mornings where you go through your normal routine and right as you do a specific action, something sparks in your head and all of a sudden you remember very vividly the dream you had last night?

That's what happened to me this morning right when i was brushing my teeth and i spit out the toothpaste into the sink. Right at that moment, what was churning through this large noggin of mine over the past 8 hours.

Last night I had a dream that I lost my lower canine and first premolar on the right side of my jaw. It just slipped right, kind of like in District 9 when the main character goes to the bathroom and is slowly mutating and finds that his fingernails, his hair, and his teeth are just falling right off. Yeah, it was pretty much THAT moment for me too in front of my mirror.

Now, not many may share this same feeling with me, but that feeling you get when you lose a tooth or a fingernail and its this part of your body that NEVER gets touched? Its like your gum feels weird or that skin underneath ur nail is so sensitive because it has never felt another touch. I've had that feeling when i lost my toe-nail on my little to (thanks again johnny) and i became obsessed with just touching it because it's a feeling i've never felt ever in my life. well that's how it was in my dream with my lost tooth. I kept inhaling really fast to let air ride over that gap or slide my tongue through and feel this game of what used to be two teeth sitting there.

i guess this dream is just serving as a reminder to me to floss and brush my teeth every day. I would say there are many things about my body that i take for granted and its dreams like that, that remind me to appreciate all the things we have.

so yeah, that's my dream. just thought i'd like to share
