Death sentences and Loosing Teeth in my dream?
I've had re-occuring dreams about being sentenced to death for stupid things. The first one was for a little prank and everyone else was going to be sent to jail, except me. All my friends were just joking around about it and I was scared. Then I had one where I was sentenced to death for forgetting a book to a club and then for bringing my guitar. They had already let the death penalty slide once, and then they drew cards to sorta gamble for my punishment but I still was sentenced to death. They were going to kill me by a giant swinging ax chopping off my head. The entire dream was me running around and hiding from people who were trying to kill me.
Today I had a dream that my teeth kept becoming loose, and they got so loose I just pulled some of them out. More became loose, and soon they'd just come off in giant chunks, multiple teeth stuck together. I was really scared. My friends in the dream told me it was normal and it happens sometimes.

Good news! The recurring themes in your dreams are actually very common (even though they seem so weird to you). I'll start with the tooth dream first: this dream is probably the second most common dream (after dreaming about falling), in general, when people dream about losing their teeth it is due to a fear about some inadequacy they feel about themselves. Generally, people dream about losing their teeth during times when they feel physically inadequate (during puberty, menopause, or times when hormones are rampant as well as after breakups or other such events) but it could also be due to anxiety you feel emotionally or perhaps anxiety you feel about your friendships. It needs to be said that this doesn't actually MEAN you're inadequate, only that you FEEL that way. The death sentence dream is in the same general vain. It sounds to me like you are worried about how your friends or peers judge you (your brain put it in a literal sense) and about your worries that you will do something wrong or embarrassing that will end in punishment. If these dreams are a problem for you, I recommend reminding yourself before you go to sleep that you are great the way you are and your friends love you. If you think I'm right in my interpretations, it might also help to talk to a close friend, family member, teacher, or counselor about these feelings.
