Nightmares!

I have an over active mind that dreams everyday without fail.... and the showing is just before my bedtime is up. My nightmares rarely do a rerun and contain 'scares' of varying proportions. Sometimes its just a silly reminder of my past that comes back to haunt me. Other times it centers around flesh trade. I dunno why... but this topic bothers me a lot and indeed 'the worse than death' concept is frightening. But that is not what features in most of my nightmares.

I have a 'cap' for my front tooth... my incisor. I broke it when I was in my teens and was made to wear a temporary cap for many years. This idiotic excuse for an incisor was made of hardened paste and I was to be careful while biting food off. Being the careless creature I am I ended up breaking it on numerous occasions...until finally at 18 when my teeth stopped growing (yes teeth it seems grow till then.. or atleast my dentist claims so) I got a permanent cap that is stronger. So as you can imagine, my reoccurring nightmare is breaking my front tooth and having to go without a replacement. Which makes me look a lot more hideous and frightening than you can possibly imagine.

It took me 6 months to get this one fixed...not because its a lengthy process, but cause I am a coward when it comes to visiting the dentist's place. And now that I am living here... and my dentist (the only one I trust not to kill me) who has moved to the UK, nightmares of having to go without my front tooth are haunting me... once again! Sigh! Have given up soo many foods just as a precaution, no biting a whole fruit (Apples, pears anything..first cut them and then eat it like a kid), no makkas, no over heated subs or burgers, no frozen pizzas! I wish I would grow accustomed to these dreams..then may be they will stop haranguing me!
