Had a dream last night where these 2 little boys were trying to escape

imprisonment... first from their own family abuse, then hiding from authorities, and then hidden in a sweatshop temporarily. In this sweat shop there were Chineese ladies.. rows one in front of the ohter sitting in these weird chairs.. They were sewing their mouths bent over, and then in unison the would real back and pull out their teeth.. then start sewing them back in... this was their job. I kept becoming the older brother and then the man trying to save the boys. It was so strange. I have no idea what this means.. but it was so surreal... anyway... happy turkey day.

1. Here is something I found on dreaming of losing teeth.

Does this make sense?

Parents are overjoyed at a child's first tooth. This major milestone is recorded in baby books and announced to anyone who'll listen. Baby teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth during the natural process of growth and maturation. Losing teeth in dreams symbolizes the loss of childhood innocence. These dreams often occur at times of transition from one life stage to the next. Your dream may be a message that an important milestone is occurring and urging you to face the inevitable. Losing teeth in dreams may also symbolize a desire to return to the security of childhood.

Teeth falling out suddenly or all at once may symbolize fear of things that are beyond your control. Permanent teeth do not come back - you may fear or be facing a major loss. You may fear victimization; without teeth, you can't bite back.

2. I understand what teeth losing teeth usually means... but it was a

bunch of chinese ladies (like in a Factory) pulling out their teeth and sewing them back in, only to rip them out in pain again... And really that was in the background... it was more focused on the injustice and the broken promises made by many to the boys... and like I said sometimes I was trying to help the boys and sometimes I was the oldest boy taking charge of my little brother. When we were in the teeth pulling factory... we were stationed in front of vending machines and I kept saying to the man that this was wrong, my little brother thought it was ok because the Vending machine had some of his favorite foods in it--just pull the handle and it drops out food (don't ask me why this was our job).. and I kept telling the man it was wrong.. he said it was only a hiding spot until he found something safe. that's when I looked over my shoulder and saw the Chinese ladies job and thought mine wasn't so bad... next the place was getting raided and me and little bro had to escape through this dirt tunnel and pop out on the surface not to get caught. So-so strange.

A lot of my dreams have me trading point perspective with the diff. characters. A while back I had posted that I wasn't dreaming (that I was aware of) and that I felt weird without them. I think this is why... they are so wild.. I only wish the alarm hadn't gone off... would have loved to know what was on the other side of this tunnel.
