Dream # 1: "Pain in my legs"
I am 40 years old. As a child, I underwent a number of surgeries in my legs. I have scars on my legs from the operations that do not bother me at all.
Tonight I dreamed that I had a lot of pain in the surgical areas. I ignored the pain! At one point I go into the bathroom and see that all the scars are bleeding. I cry in the bathroom and do not want my children to come to my bathroom to see it (sometimes the girls go to the bathroom or bath when I'm there). When my husband comes to ask what happened I show and tell him that I just want to go to sleep and tomorrow morning I'll go to the clinic!
I woke up quite shaken by the sight of the scars bleeding. What happens to me, what is this dream about?

My Interpretation
I will offer an interpretation on one level. There are probably more, perhaps in the symbolic context.
Our legs, especially the feet, serve as a channel for the entry and exit of energies. Why? Because it is usually the area of the body that has no critical internal organs and is hidden most of the time, so even if it has defects or scars or for example inflamed nails, it will not interfere with the aesthetic function or appearance.
As a child, you used the medical procedure you went through to massively allow energies into your reality landscape. These energies were used in the rest of your life. The dream represents a similar process only this time you do not have to go through it physically, luckily of course. The "work" is enough during the dream to inject new energies into your body and release old energies. Therefore, on this level, the dream is certainly a good and encouraging one, even though it caused you pain (which probably passed when you woke up) ...
The children serve as a reflection of the reality, to show that you are ashamed or feel guilty about that process, or about something you carry with you from childhood.
Truth to be said, on the evening of that day, I began some process for myself and did not think in that direction because I was amazed by the dream and the clear form of the bleeding scars! Thanks.

Dream # 2: "A clay plate in my teeth"
I dreamed that I was walking down the street and that I had a plate in my teeth but not an ordinary one but like a lump of clay in the shape and pressure like a plate with which a dentist takes measurements of teeth's crowns. The plate is so big I can not close my mouth.
The plate is very uncomfortable, but I walk with it as if I must. I'm only afraid for the crowns I have in my teeth, that they will not withstand the pressure. And indeed I try to take off the plate and all the crowns fall on the floor. In reality, I have 3 crowns on the front. In the dream all my teeth have crowns and they all fall off. Only the foundations of the crowns were left in my mouth.
I put the plate back in my mouth and try to collect all the crowns from the floor. There are a lot and some fall out of my fingers. I know they cost a lot of money and think about how much I will have to spend to buy the lost ones. There are a few people around trying to help me collect the crowns from the floor.
Then I continue to walk toward my dentist, and it feels very strange, as if my mouth is blown up by the plate, I can not close or open it, and I think people do not recognize me like that.
In reality, I do not need to straighten my teeth, but I am concerned about the need to go to the dentist urgently.

My Interpretation
In the dream, you are using the thoughts you have in your waking hours about the dentist to reflect internal reality.
The dream reflects a "clash" between the inner self and the external self. Your awareness, and the person you are have caused over the years for a change in your personality and your self-perception. For example, you may have adopted new opinions, changed world views, started to feel other things. In fact, you have gone through a natural process that happens in every person, that is the growth of personality. After all, one can not stay the same all the time, can one?
The thing is that these changes do not yet have the proper expression. Something in you stops them from expressing themselves. You almost force yourself to refrain from saying what you feel and really think.
This can relate to a general issue or specifically about a particular subject, it is difficult for me to determine without further details about the dream.
The question is why is this happening? Why do you feel prevented from expressing yourself in the world (= your mouth is completely blocked, you can not speak)? And the dream gives the answer - you're afraid that once you figure out who you really are, you'll lose the identity (or identities) that you've created for yourself over the years. You are afraid that people will not recognize you anymore and that this will cause you damage (for example, financial lack).
The crowns symbolize these identities and as they are firmly attached to your physical body so the identities you have created are glued to the inner self. But, the time has come to release some of these identities and express the new inner self that has been sown, grown, and now ripe for germination.
