A retainer signifies the way you hold your words and keep your own counsel. This dream tells of a way you keep your tongue in check so your private thoughts do not spill out too quickly. It is like a door that stays latched to protect what is inside the house.
You carry this caution with you in your daily dealings, acting as a way to manage how much of yourself you give to the world. There is a heaviness in this pulling back, a way you keep everything tucked tight and out of sight. I use my own silence to keep my footing when the room feels too loud. You possess a way of keeping yourself together.
A retainer not fitting, dear, suggests that the way you are trying to hold yourself back is no longer working well. The edges of this silence are sharp and they bite into you.
Wearing a retainer shows that this caution is a part of your current state, something you carry actively in your life. It is a constant, lived experience of being careful with what you say.
When you see a broken retainer, the dream tells you that the boundaries of your speech have given way. Because the object can no longer hold its shape, the words you have been guarding are beginning to escape.
For its more general meaning: Dream about teeth
Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
