Teeth

I awoke from a dream so horrid I couldn't breathe.
Watching myself as I slowly pulled out all of my teeth.
The feeling of every nerve tearing and a throbbing in my gums.
Watching my face in the mirror, expressionless, as if I was numb.
I felt like I wanted to scream.
Is there an explaination for this horrid dream?!

Maybe this crazy dream was merely a metaphor, you see.
It might symbolize how I might've been a little too carefree.
The words that I've said could've been too dense.
This then caused my brain to punish me for this; it makes sense!

Just tell me why I still felt the whole thing?
Every tear and pull as each tooth was yanked out.
Yet as it was happening, I didn't let out a shout.
It was too real to be fake.
The thought of it reoccurring still makes me shake..
I don't want to sleep anymore..
