Dream of placing a fallen tooth under your pillow - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may show a wish to quietly hold on to something that has ended or a feeling that has passed, while moving on to the next stage.
Instead of throwing away the fallen tooth, you wrap it in paper or place it in an envelope and tuck it under your pillow. Before falling asleep, you may check that it is still there or try not to let anyone find out.
Korean lore: Traditionally, keeping a fallen tooth has sometimes been interpreted as a process of sorting through past changes or feelings connected with family. Rather than adding a special folk meaning, it can also be viewed by focusing on what you want to hold onto. (Inspired by various folk customs of keeping or discarding teeth, fallen teeth are sometimes read as symbols of memory and change.)
Through the mind: Something you thought was over, or a childhood memory, may still remain in one corner of your heart. Placing the tooth under your pillow may feel like wanting to keep that emotion somewhere safe for a while rather than erase it right away.
