Teeth are indicative of children, friends, relatives, slaves, benefitsand mounts, and of anything in which there is benefit. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Teeth on the right signify males andthose on the left signify females. He said: And molars signify seniorsamong those indicated. Someone else said: The upper teeth represent males and the lowerteeth represent females. He said: The upper eyeteeth signify the masterof the house and the lower eyeteeth signify the lady of the house. In my view, the molar may indicate an enemy, because the peopledescribe a man as a "big molar" meaning an enemy. I dreamt that my molar fell out, and an enemy of mine died. If aperson dreams that his teeth become good or strong, he will get marriedif he is single, otherwise he will rejoice over the person indicated. Wehave seen above that a man said to me: I dreamt that my teeth becameclear, and that signaled the end of his years, as he died soon after that. If teeth turn black, decay, fall out or break, or something else goeswrong with them, the dreamer will have trouble from the personindicated. If he pulls out a tooth and throws it on the ground, the personindicated will die. If he holds it in his hand, he will get provision fromthe person indicated. A woman dreamt that and I said that to her, andshe got some money from her father. The dream interpreters say: If a person dreams that his teeth fell out,he will get some money from his relatives. If they fall into his lap, hewill be blessed with a child, because Allah says: "So that you spoke to the people in the cradle,"[Al-Maa'idah 5:110] i.e., from his mother's lap. If the teeth fall out onto the ground, that is indicative of death,because Allah says: "Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shallreturn you." [Ta-Ha 20:55] If what falls onto the ground is picked up, the dreamer will have astillborn child. If the teeth of a sick person are destroyed, he will die. Their falling out may also be indicative of travel, because they fell fromthe place where they should be and moved to another place. If a persondreams that teeth grow on his heart, he will die. If he dreams that histeeth are made of gold, his dream is good if he is a man of knowledge;otherwise he will get sick or may be burned. If he dreams that they aremade of silver, he will incur some loss in his wealth, but if he dreamsthat they are made of glass or wood, this signifies wealth. Filing the teeth signifies that a fault will appear in the person indicated. If he takes out his teeth, he will sever ties of kinship or spend moneywhen he grows old. If his tongue throws them out, he will damage hisfamily's affairs because of words that he utters. The molars represent armies that are cheating and are of no benefit atthe time of need. If we think of them as signifying trade goods, they willtake a long time to be sold and make money. Taking out one of them isindicative of trouble for the person indicated. A man dreamt that his teeth fell out and Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deensaid to him: People will leave you who used to serve you. A man dreamt that he went into a person's mouth and took out theteeth in it. He said: You went into a man's house and took his wealth. Another man dreamt that a molar broke and he said: A mill of yoursfell down. Another man dreamt that and he said: The stone of your presswill fall. Another man said: I dreamt that my teeth went rotten. He said: Youranimals will have sickness. And he said to another man: Your mountswill have a problem in their hooves. And it all turned out as he said. The falling out of teeth may indicate sickness because sicknessmakes it hard to eat.
