And take that dream of losing teeth. A lot of ancient dream manuals
mention this dream. And most say it portends the death
of a family member or employee. Freud thought it represented castration
as a punishment for masturbating. And in one 1984 study of dreams, people who dreamed about their teeth
falling out tended to be more anxious, but they also just thought about
their teeth more than the average person. Kids probably dream more about animals
because their days are filled with them. Men might dream more about men
because that's who they worry about most when they're awake. The dreams of Germans as Hitler
came to power weren't prophecies, but they also weren't completely random. They were reflections
of the dreamers' waking fears. I don't think the dreaming brain is trying
to give our conscious mind some sort of a message
