What does it mean to dream of losing a lot of teeth?

Dreaming of losing a lot of teeth doesn't mean what will happen next, and there is no warning, as usual. When and what kind of dreams you dream are not self-controlled, but random events.

Basically everyone dreams every day. The reason why humans can remember dreams is that they are in the waking stage, but this does not mean that humans will not dream in the rest of their sleep time.

The cause of dreams

Scientific explanation: There is no conclusion about the cause and purpose of dreams in academic circles. It is generally believed that dreams are caused by some nerve impulses released by the brain when it processes information and consolidates long-term memory (just like dust raised during cleaning or information flow being processed), and are interpreted by conscious brains as bizarre vision and hearing.

First of all, Hobson and McCarley put forward the theory of "activation-synthesis" in 1977: the pons in the brain stem will constantly send out signals (PGO waves) to stimulate and activate the conscious part of the brain and make it synthesize a meaningful dream.

However, Solms later found that patients with brain stem injury still dream, while patients with parietal lobe injury (parietal cortex responsible for body sensation and sensory integration) do not dream. Perhaps the brain stem is only related to REM dreams, while the parietal lobe is related to REM dreams and NREM dreams.

Zhang Jie put forward the theory of "continuous activation" in 2004: one of the functions of sleep is to transform temporary memory into long-term memory, and REM stage deals with unconscious "procedural memory" instead of conscious "declarative memory" in eye movement (NREM) stage.
