Tooth fairy

The Tooth Fairy, Tooth under the pillow, Losing a baby tooth

The tooth fairy belongs to childhood: a wobbly tooth, a pillow and a small surprise by morning. Dreaming of her often brings back that mix of losing something and being rewarded for it. You may be going through a change that costs you a little but leaves something better in its place. The dream can also be about wonder, or about the joy of keeping a bit of magic alive for a child in your life. If you were the tooth fairy, you like making others happy in quiet ways.
