What research shows
Flying or soaring scored 48.3% (Nielsen & Zadra, 2003), ninth of 55; floating sits inside that family.
Objects

Suspension without effort — the calm relative of the flying dream, and reported far more often as pleasant..
The psychological reading
Frequently reported at the edge of sleep, where the vestibular system is settling — the sensation can precede the imagery rather than follow it.

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.
