Losing my teeth?

I had a dream last night. I was losing my teeth. I have heard that this particular dream has a specific meaning, so this morning I did some internet research and here are two explainations that I found:

This classic dream has a number of interpretations. It can literally mean that you are frightened of losing your teeth. It can show the beginning of a new phase of life just as we lose our teeth when we pass from early childhood and head towards adulthood. You may be worried about your self image or the dream may signify unexpressed anxiety.

Loss of control over certain aspects of one's life. Powerlessness, unable to influence things or the outcome of things important. Loss of self esteem in a situation or chronic problem.

Both explainations sound pretty bleak, but may each hold some truth. It was a strange dream. I seemed to be back in school (a reccuring theme in my recent dreams) and I think that I was married to Paul Williams of the Y&R! My teeth turned black like sharks teeth after they fell out. That's about all I remember.

If the tooth fairy was real, I'd be up about ten bucks.
