Weird Dreams are back

I guess I will start keeping a little blog journal of my weird dreams.

I had this dream last night after a fun time at the Christmas party and a discussion with my husband about how our kids will be swayed to join the military for at least one tour of duty. I will have to blog about this later.
I don't remember much about the dream but something really stuck out. I was shaking hands with some man but I don't remember his face and when I shook his hand it was really limp and puny and I hate soft handshakes. I much prefer a really tight grip and firm shake. Well when I looked down at the hand I was shaking it was missing the thumb. Weird. So I looked up the meaning of this on some website for dreams and this is what I determined.

To dream that you are shaking hands with someone, symbolizes either a new beginning or an ending to a situation. You have have reached an agreement or a decision to a problem. The dream may also mean that you are welcoming something new into your life. In particular, if you are shaking hands with someone famous or someone important, then it suggests that you are well regarded by others.

To dream that you have no thumb, denotes poverty and loneliness.

So if I dream that I am shaking hands with someone with no thumb does that mean that I shook hands with loneliness? So I put an end to my loneliness?

Another dream that I have had twice is a dream that my teeth fall out of my mouth and I am ashamed. They fall out like Lego's or something not human, like ceramic or glass with no blood or anything. So I looked up the meaning to this dream too:

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.?

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.?

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.

I don't know exactly which one of these feelings are making me dream this but my husband will tell you that I sat up in the bed the night I had this dream and I never forget it like other random dreams.
