to differentiate my own feelings from someone else's
And this is the whole secret for mastery.
I will go as far as to say that 90% of the thoughts we think daily are not even ours at all.
Thanks for this interesting reading 👍

Thanks :D Yea the whole- our thoughts vs other's thoughts is something i will blog about later. I have a question for you actually, you sprung to mind to be a good person to ask. I sort of know the answer, but sort of don't. I've had a recurring dream for years and years, since i was a teenager. It's always during periods of stress and or depression. The actual dream can vary but the core of it is always the same, and revolves around my teeth. In the dream, doing whatever i am doing, my jaw locks, the bottom half slides out to the side with my mouth shut clenching really tightly, the pressure on my teeth increases to where they painfully snap and crumble. I spit bits of teeth out and blood, i can feel all the bits of teeth in my mouth and i am spitting them out. More recently in the last year or two i can offset it somewhat in the dream, maybe 2 or 3 times i am able to unlock my jaw and stop my teeth from shattering, but in the next scene they will shatter and im spitting teeth and blood out. Sometimes, not every time, i must be actually grinding my teeth whilst asleep, as i did last night, i woke up this morning i've chewed both sides of my cheeks and my jaw actually aches. I haven't had one for a while actually, i was thinking about it earlier and you popped into my head. Do you have any ideas? I know it's stress related, that much i figured out, but why the teeth? And why so vividly painful and repetitive? I don't expect a definitive answer here, but you're an insightful person from what i gather!
All right, I will go straight to the point –
It's a common thing, especially for indigos. The physical realm is harsh and in your dreams you clear/cleanse your systems. Hence, from childhood. In a way, you are still adjusting to the world here. Having said that, you can ease the process and limit to zero the pain or the grinding.
You said it all, mental pressure, stress. So, you need to address those first. I don't know you enough to pinpoint the reasons but would say that the number 1 cause for stress is too much thinking, too much analyzing in the mind. You are giving your mind a task it cannot handle/wasn't designed to deal with. You are asking your mind to make decisions while its main job is merely to collect info and data so YOU can make the decision. And so, in times of confusion and sitting-on-the-fence trying to figure out "what's next", it's only natural that you put pressure on your systems.
Now, why teeth? Could be several reasons. In your case, the main is the symbolism. Teeth = your wisdom, ("wisdom teeth", sounds familiar?). And again, the message is - exercise your wisdom. Once you begin implementing that, listening to your own self, the repeating dreams will go away.
I hope I helped.🙂
p.s.
As a quick and temporary remedy check the food you eat in the evening/day before you have this recurring dreams. If you find a pattern then avoid eating those foods until you work out the mental issues I mentioned above.
That makes a lot of sense, although I do not have any wisdom teeth, I've not had them removed, i just dont have them. The dentist gave me an xray- i think it was an xray- when i was 21 because there was no sign of them and he was worried they may be growing sideways, but was surprised when he found i actually didn't have any! He said i was living proof of evolution, and my dad said 'your mother just didn't make you properly!' haha! But yea i never considered the actual symbolism of teeth, it makes sense what you are saying, but i am also cautious as to that would be something that i would want to hear too.
But i absolutely over analyse and over think all of the time, so many realisations, revelations, ideas, ponderings, and analysing goes through my mind and stays there. I have tried to talk to friends and family about some things, but that didn't help at all, this quote by Robin Williams sums it up nicely- I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone, it's not, the worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone-No disrespect to the people in my life, they are very important to me and help me in many ways, but there are just a great array of things i simply cannot discuss with them. One of the reasons i have turned to blogging. I started writing out my thoughts a few months ago, and a few weeks ago i considered blogging. So here i am, it will be interesting to see if over time as i am putting my thoughts and feelings into words, and interacting with people about them, if these recurring smashing teeth dreams stop! I will update you down the line.
I can discount the food, as i was a meat eater when it started, and ive transitioned to vegetarian through to 80% Vegan, and also had the dreams on days where i just have not managed to eat.
Again, thank you so much for another insightful comment, i wish my vote was worth something so i could give you something in return :/
Doesn't matter as your mind takes the symbol from the mass consciousness of the pool of dreams symbols. (re: Carl Jung).
Not easy to quiet the mind, is it? 😉
Pls do. I love feedbacks for my interpretations.
No worries. I'm rewarded. But nice of you to say 👍
