What research shows
Not a questionnaire item, but among the most reported dream figures in content analyses of adults.
People
Dreaming about an ex partner
Unfinished business with a version of yourself, more often than with the person..
The psychological reading
Frequency of ex-partner dreams does not track remaining attraction; it tracks unresolved narrative — arguments never had, explanations never given.

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.
