What research shows
Not measured. Past acquaintances appear in dream reports at rates unrelated to current contact.
People
Dreaming about old friends
People from a version of your life that has closed — the dream is about the period, not the person..
The psychological reading
Reported during transitions, when the mind appears to retrieve the last comparable transition — which is often the era those friends belong to.

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.
