Swapna: Dream MeaningsDreams about the body and health
Teeth, hair, blood, falling and flying
Dreams about the body are among the most commonly reported all over the world. In Indian belief they are mostly read as signs of change, worry and the state of the family. They are not a medical signal, and if you are worried about your health you should see a doctor, not a dream book.
