Something taken by someone who intended to take it — robbery dreams add intent to ordinary loss..

What research shows

Being physically attacked scored 42.4% in Nielsen & Zadra, 2003, twelfth of 55.

The psychological reading

What is taken usually identifies the concern: documents read as identity, money as security, keys as access. Dreamers name the item readily.

The version matters

Different ways this dream shows up

Most dream dictionaries give one meaning for the whole symbol. In practice the specific version carries most of the information — losing every tooth and losing one tooth are not the same dream.

How to record a dream, why the feeling matters more than the content, and when recurring nightmares are worth a doctor rather than a dictionary — set out once on the main page.

Before you look anything up

How the dream felt matters more than what was in it. The same image can arrive as comfort or as threat, and that difference tells you more than any entry in a dictionary — including this one.
