Why I Had The Teeth Falling Hallucinations?

Neurotoxicity due to inflammation caused it

The human brain is what makes us unique. It’s huge and requires lots of glucose and oxygen.

It does not like acidity. But when we inflame the body due to wrong lifestyle, it suffers by the acidosis. The neurons are assaulted and the neurochemistry changes.

As a result, we feel strange sensations. One of these sensation is hallucination. We see, smell, taste, hear, or feel things that aren’t there.

I had one sensation of feeling something which was not real. It was the dream of teeth falling.

After being exposed to lots of cockroach allergens during an apartment stay, my body was inflamed. My hormones had been affected badly, immune system was provoked, and nerves were compromised.

During that phase, whenever I took a nap, often I would wake with a strange dream. I would feel that my teeth are falling, one by one. I am going toothless! It happened several times over few weeks.

At night with my spouse nearby, the dream never came. Maybe I felt secure at that time. In the day, I was alone and insecure. The dream came when I was about to wake up from the nap.

I was very scared. I was going through neurotoxicity and hallucinations.

My health restored now, it’s difficult to imagine how horrible that phase was!

Now, I try to understand what exactly caused the teeth-falling dream.

There are tons of theories on the internet about the spiritual meaning and such. The majority say it symbolizes losing control and insecurity. I don’t deny that, as being sick is ultimate powerlessness.

But I am interested to know the exact biochemical mechanism behind that dream. Let’s see some scientific reasons:

The bones were leached due to acidosis of acute and systemic inflammation. Teeth are embedded in the jawbone. As the jawbone was weak. Also, the nerves were affected, so I would feel the sensation.

As the body’s pH improved, when I did not get exposed to the allergens anymore, the brain metabolism moved towards normalcy. The nerves got their integrity back.

The bone density returned. The oral enzymes were pacified, so they did not weaken the gum and teeth contact.

All these led to the end of the teeth falling dreams.

I am glad, it was brief suffering. Anyway, the hallucination helped me write a firsthand experience today.

So, if you are having the teeth-falling dream, most likely your body is inflamed. Your nerves, bone, and muscle need more care. Lowering the inflammation is the solution for that.

I hope the story was helpful.
