You are very welcome my friend. I won't respond with a sequel to the novel... but i will say that i think facing fear is important. Expressing my teeth dream/nightmare via artistic expression set that mentality free. I was never afraid of losing teeth so i don't know where the dream originated... but dealing with it through the art made it go away.
Your experience sounded like some trauma was involved and that can leave a very lasting imprint. So, i was happy to see you express yourself about it in your art here. I do agree with you about the aspect of being vulnerable and opening up also setting things bottled up free.
Much love to you brother! Have a great weekend and i'm sure i'll be seeing you around! hahaha
