Don't try too hard to repress it.
I had a dream last night where my teeth crumbled, that fucked me up.

Anyway, it won't go away if you try to make it go away. When I want to not think about something, I just let my train of thought run wild for a minute. Eventually, I wind up on some totally unrelated topic. Like, think about something in the dream, then associate it with something else - you'll be off-topic in no time.
OP, our brains all throw up some truly bizarre things at times. They don't actually tend to mean anything in terms of revealing your true inner self or any of that crap, so don't worry about turning into an awful person. It'll pass and you'll forget about it - its really no different to a disturbing movie sticking in your head. Just keep yourself busy for a while.
Tequila gives good dreams apparently.
A lot of sedatives or sleep aids will tend to decrease dream vividness/recall, so you could try one of those if it continues happening.
As for forgetting it, I'm afraid I don't have any advice beyond what's been offered. It just takes time.
It stuck with me for a couple of days, but instead of trying to force myself to ignore it, I just let it "run it's course", I guess you could say. I think the harder you work to supress it, the more influence it will have. Your best bet is probably to take the forumer's advice and try to find other things to keep your head occupied for a couple of days. It worked for me.

I've heard this means you have something you need to tell someone that you are stressed about.
It is a truly unpleasant dream, and yeah I've heard that. In fact what Rubick said is even more true in my case.
There's something about your teeth going that is just... ugh.
I once read a new-agey interpreting dreams book that said it meant you are dying.
So goodbye, PA forums.
I think 'run its course' is the best advice, anything else is just overreacting and may well make it worse.

Nobody is trying to tell you anything, you are not predicting the future, your dreams are not going to force anything to happen. Whether or not you are actually able to take control of the dream, just try to remember that you are the master of your own mind whether it realizes it or not.
Fer' instance, a few months ago, I had a dream where I was walking through an abandoned shopping mall with lit hallways and a huge number of dark & empty glass-fronted stores. After a bit, a truck came driving down the hallway straight at me - while I didn't become totally lucid, apparently I was enough in the right frame of mind (after reading a lot about lucid dreaming techniques and such) to have a moment of "not today, jackass!", whereupon I stopped the truck with my bare hands and shoved it backward hard enough to send it flying through one of the windows and completely out of sight.
Also, as someone already mentioned, stay away from excessive amounts of B6. Some people also claim eating large amounts of cheese can cause really wacked out dreams as well.....Can't say that's ever happened to me, though.
Hope my rambling helps you a bit.
Talking with other people on a board about it might not keep it out of your head, but it might somewhat blunt and relativate the experience. We don't know who you are (or do we?) and could probably not care less than to think badly of a stranger, so just tell us.
I had one were my teeth were really weak and when i wiggled it, it popped out. Then i tried to stick it back in and the ones next to it popped out.
Turns out, i needed to brush my teeth more.
You're dreams reflect your self-conciense. You can either ignore it, or try to understand the meaning of the dream. Don't think about it if it pains you or figure it's meaning. You decide.
It's still bugging me a decent amount, but going to the movies took my mind off it for a while.
I guess it'll go away eventually, I was just a bit freaked out since I'm pretty sure that I've had the dream before, which I'm also pretty sure has never happened to me before.
Eh, I just need to stop thinking about it I guess. It's like that one Lewis Black joke where all he thinks about is the dumbest thing ever said... only with a crazy-ass dream.
While you may not remember it, you have most likely had duplicate dreams in the past (maybe not this one though). People tend to have anywhere from 2-7 dreams per night (sometimes more) every night. They frequently have similar themes/images or even identical content. Though this may be the first time that you've had a duplicate dream that you actually remember having before. Though it could just as easily be an incidence of deja vu, feeling like you've had the dream before.
NO.
Dreams are just random bullshit. They may sometimes in some small way reflect your personality, but not necessarily. Thats about as far as it goes.
Don't give dreams a second thought, because they aren't even worth it. Just recognize that whatever bad stuff you saw doesn't stand for shit, and I'm sure you'll feel better.
Well, since I really haven't told anyone, it's probably good to get out in the open anyway, if not just to let it out of my system. I'll spoiler since I dunno how graphic I might be.
It's pretty much not THAT bad when written like that, but seeing this girl and what I did to her, even in the dream, really just fucks me up.
I actually do feel better putting that down in writing.
I thought the same thing.
Something like "come fuck your dreams along side of me" or "imagine you're fucking with me".
In response to the OP, talk to people about it.
I've had this dream before... Several times. It is one of the most terrible feelings, but so relieving when you wake up and realize it was just a dream.
That's about the most bad-ass dream I've ever heard of.
In response to the OP, you just need to tell a few people about it (which you already did), and then just wait for the thought to go away. As for your house being totally different than your current home, that's how ALL of my dreams are. Nothing is the way it actually is. I've talked to people about this and they say it happens to them too. It just happens all the time to people, so I wouldn't worry about it. I've had disturbing dreams and the only thing i've been able to do to forget about them is wait it out. Once I had a dream where this baby was possessed by the devil and was one day going to cause all kinds of chaos, and I had to kill it. It was just an innocent-looking baby however, and all I had was some random household object like a big encyclopedia or something. That had me really bothered for a couple days.
Seriously, I wouldn't let it bother you. Just shrug it off as something totally random, it doesn't mean anything. Get it out of your system and then wait it out.
You're dream is not too bad. I'm pretty sure everyone has done something fucked up to someone they would never do that to in a dream. I've had some pretty strange ones that i would never, EVER write down.
You'll be fine.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how much keeping a journal or something can help train your brain to handle things (or so i've been told, easier said than done when you're stumbling out of bed at 6 AM). Glad you're feeling better
Definately was pretty cool
For example, this morning I was talking with a girl I like (in a dream), and then the alarm went off, but in my head I knew it was the alarm going off to wake me up. I then told the girl to hold on in my dream and I woke up.
Then I was having a scary nightmare about a month ago with some killer chasing me around Las Vegas (?) and about halfway through I just thought "Fuck it, its just a dream I'll do whatever I want." That dream was so fucking kickass because then I did things that aren't even possible but it felt so fucking real. Like I was flying and walking on/through walls, shooting fireballs, etc. Basically whatever I wanted to do in the dream automatically happened, like I was in complete control of the events. If a wanted a certain person to walk in a certain time, he or she would do so.
Anyway, what would that be called?
Lucid Dreaming. It was also mentioned on Page 1.
Also to the OP, your dream isn't that bad, and is perfectly understandable. I wouldn't worry about it, many other people would probably do the same.
Basically, as you might be able to gather from a post above, the idea is to see something in a dream, and have your mind realize it is a dream. Once you get to that point, it's simply (well, not that simple) a matter of willpower and focus, and you can quite literally do anything. Many techniques for doing so, read the wikipedia article and it goes over several.
dreamviews.com has some decent forums for discussing this kind of thing also. Beware that they can be NSFW at times though.
The site I found first which really helped was this one which was on Digg a while back. (Sorry about the white text on black!)
The first time I did it was pretty fun, but short-lived. I fell asleep on my couch and "woke up" on my couch, except I was dreaming. I somehow remembered from that article to look at my feet, and when I did, I realized I was dreaming. Then I decided it would be fun to fly around inside my condo, which I did for a few minutes before really waking up. It's crazy, because I can still remember the exact details of the dream.
I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
How much power is possible without waking up? Could you shatter objects, raise volcanoes, fly around, fuck a girl?
??
Its literally whatever you want to do. There are no real limits.
Wow... umm... you might need to get out more.
Lucid dreaming is basically just a more vivid version of what you can do by closing your eyes and imagining things. So yeah, sure, you could do those things. But why?
Well, what else would you do in a lucid dream?
Oh whoa, wow so i'm not crazy just stressed. Neat.
To the OP, do you have a modicum of control over yourself/environment in your dreams or are they mostly automated?
Pretty much anything you want to, there are two easy tricks, to get somewhere tell yourself you are going to XXX and it's just through the door over there, the door should show up and it should transport you to the new place, the other trick is if you want to find someone and talk to them call them up and tell them to come over they usually show up imediately.
Satans..... hints.....
Basically, I was dreaming that I was dreaming. Yeah, well each time I fell asleep I got a mild lucid dream feel, as all of the "dreams" within a dream I had I would "wake up" from. I should note, that majority of my lucid dreams reflect, atleast what I gather, alternate worlds or dimensions. For example, I saw 3 different designs of my house, each having their own mild and crazy differences. Each "world" so to speak had its own color scheme.
Anyway, the first "dream" I had, I was in my room, it was bright. Like HDR lighting bright, but it was my room regardless. I believe this sparked due to my first experience of having a high end gaming computer. I say that because in this world, one of the first things I heard/saw was a engineer screaming "A SPY IS SAPPIN' MAH SENTRY!" (As awesome as this sounds, it slowly turned to not awesome.) If you hadn't guessed I was playing much of the Orange Box, so I guess this world/dream reflected that as I walked through my house, it turned into some home-alone portal deathtrap. Although I didn't have a portal gun I just had to avoid death, there was a door knob flowing the electricity and a bunch of other shit, while engineers just stared at me doing that subtle rock the wrench in their hands. As I furthered more it started getting darker and much more Redder. After that I "woke up".
Well, in reality, I went to a much worse world, which right off the bat I knew I was dreaming and I tried to gain control of it, but I failed horribly. This is the worst feeling ever, trying to control your dream and ending up trying to think of stuff NOT to think of but you end up making stuff worse. For example, I tried thinking of a hot girl and a delorean, well instead of that, my house turned into a dark blue hell hole with shadows and everything in the room becoming pointy and angley.
I then got some weird motion blur vision, and different objects in my room started talking to me. I shit you not, my game consoles were fighting with each other. The 360 kept screaming that it was going to DIE and the N64 kept saying how it didn't want to be ignored any more. My Halo spartan figure began moving, and a headcrab plush started walking in its own headcrab way.
Now the more disturbing thing that happened, was I suddenly had a mirror, that showed me of course, but it had the usual "Valve" main menu layout over my face. Somehow I was able to move a mouse and I clicked QUIT GAME, and everything turned dark except me whose image turned into the Grim Reaper and a small creepy deep low pitched laugh is heard.
Then I woke up and immediately thought "What the Fuck?"
Damn, most of my dreams are easy to get, but that was the weirdest yet.
Write it down. Sometimes putting it on paper (or computer screen, as often seems the case today) can give you a different perspective and come to terms with it, helping you sort it out.
Plus, it's a great way to come up with material for writing.
As far as your dreams bothering you... whenever I have a really weird dream, i find by the next day I'm usually not thinking about it.
I had a fucked up dream a few days ago where I in the past had murdered my ex-gf, and I was thinking about it like "there is no way I am getting away with this, I murdered someone".
Then I woke up and was like "chill... chill... you didn't murder anyone".
That one actually still makes me feel fucked.
Sometimes though your dreams can have things in them that are bothering you in real life - I'll have dreams about work if I am stressed out about work, for example. The specific things that happen in them don't really mean anything... Its more about the way you feel in the dream, I think.
But then what the fuck am I, a dreamatician?
Also, a lot of people have this notion that you can't die in a dream, but I've actually died before. Plane hijacking, got shot in the head as a random warning victim. Didn't even see it coming. Though apparently I ended up becoming a ghost and just kinda watched the rest of the scene from the 3rd person, my corpse was still there on the seat though. Perhaps the correct statement is that it's impossible to lose consciousness in a dream.
