Marion said the dreams are about teeth because we take in the world through our mouths, our teeth biting off chunks of experience. So something wasn't working about they way I was taking in the world. Images of childhood fear started to come back. And of present fear that I wouldn't be accepted. Then I remembered the lesson I've recently learned about anger.
Anger is a good thing.
It helps me know when I am scared and helps me deal with things that scare me. Cut off from my protective anger at an early age, I have felt vulnerable and frightened since. With all this teeth trouble I desperately wanted to change something about how I took in experience. More of my animal nature wanted to come out. So, in the midst of that workshop, I began staying in my anger longer, acting on it more often in my dealings with others.
