Teeth are assumed, in the interpretation of dreams, to represent relatives or the best friends one may possess; the front teeth bear a relation to children, to brothers, sisters and other near connections; the lower ones signify persons of the female sex, and the upper ones those of the masculine gender. Consequently, to dream of having a tooth lost or spoiled, is an indication of the loss of some relative.

To dream of having vermilion and well-conditioned lips signifies that the dreamer has excited the admiration of some kind and disinterested friends, whose respect it would be impolitic to forfeit.

To dream of the lips being compressed, withered or shrunken, signifies forfeiture of friendship as well as having excited the animosity of some former admirer.
