The dream
I'm 19 years old and I have many dreams in which all my teeth fall from my mouth, just one after the other, easily. Teeth that are not supposed to rock and fall like baby teeth unless they are "sick" like my father's. My teeth in my dreams are not sick but still have fallen out.
I do not understand why I dream about teeth falling off me all the time. I have a feeling that this is ominous…
What does this indicate about me? What does this mean for my future life? Yesterday was Friday and again I dreamed that I was telling my mother "All my teeth are falling" and a row of teeth fell one after the other, and I do not know if in the dream everything worked out and my teeth came back (I tried to remember, I could not). It's always the molars, from inside.
What is the interpretation?

The interpretation
Dreams of this kind ("teeth falling") can be interpreted in many ways and I will suggest two ways of interpretation, for you will to decide what works best for you.
First, the dream can indicate a sense of helplessness that you have about the progress in life, "where does my life go to? what will happen to me?" Specifically, you have a reluctance to make decisions, you do not take responsibility for your life, and make decisions as you should. These are not world-changing decisions (you do not have to decide that you are going to make a world peace), but rather decisions about your personal life. The dream gives you this message.
A second possibility is related to obsessions. Do you have a certain compulsive behavior? Are you "addicted" to something (food, drugs, sex)? I will not elaborate because it may not be relevant to you.
You are very right about the first option, making decisions, etc. My life is now screwed up and not moving anywhere. What does the dream convey to me? what does the dream tell me to correct? Because it only shows how irresponsible I am about my life and that I am in a bad period.
So first, and perhaps it is not in place but still important for me to say -
You are too strict with yourself.
Your life may be "stuck", not moving, or in your language - "fucked up". But, and this is very important, this is not what really happens. It's just a temporary situation that happens in everybody's life. You are young, just finished high-school and obviously wondering about the future. The dream reflects the stress and worry in your thoughts. The most important thing you can do for yourself right now is to accept the situation and continue to love yourself as you are. Even in the midst of the less glamorous moments of life.
Now to the dream -
You do not describe many details, so the dream, as I interpreted it, only reflects a given situation. The teeth fall. And not just any teeth - the molars, which are the strongest, the most basic. You feel that the ground under your feet is disappearing and you are afraid that you might free-fall. The dream does not offer a solution, or maybe it did, but you do not remember. Try asking for additional guidance. In your dream you referred to your guiding soul-self (represented by your mom), so help is available to you. Claim it!
Before you go to bed, tell yourself "I want to get a message in the dream about what I need to do, and when I wake up in the morning I will remember the dream in full and especially this message." With this thought go to sleep and I believe you will have a guiding dream. If not tonight then maybe the next night.
Anyways, if you want to change something, then as I mentioned you can start by accepting the situation as it is and not being so hard on yourself. Then, when you are calm and not stressed, you will make decisions. Start small, slowly, step by step until the picture slowly becomes clear.
Good Luck!
