JZ, I'm sorry! You must have received our share of the dressing angst this morning. I knew something was up when Liv didn't veto the first outfit we tried.
I just got around to sweeping up the crumbs from breakfast.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I have the teeth falling out dream occasionally. Freaks me the hell out when I wake up. I always have to check to make sure it isn't true! I think it's from grinding my teeth.
I also have the flying dreams but they are often more like floating-just-above-the-ground dreams. I even had one where I was bobbing off the ceiling like a trapped helium balloon.

Personally, I think flying dreams where you rise and fall, or float are related to breathing patterns.
I suspect this because I remember somebody creating a Virtual Reality environment where flying was based on breathing, so that you ascended when you inhaled and descended as you exhaled and it was a very persuasive experience to those who did it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to have quite proper flying dreams all the time--flying around the house just about the height of the doorways, and soaring around the outdoors.
These days every single dream I remember is related to work (usually SQL) or TV (often SPN or CM).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The good list, not the Perkins-abandoned list.
HEY! I'm not even sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not nice.

One thing I've noticed happening since I was a kid was having moments in dreams where I stumble or otherwise mistep in the dream and jar myself awake. I'm pretty sure it's because my body is acutally doing something jarring and my dream tries to account for it.
Also, rooms in my dreams always seem to end up with puddles, piles of refuse, webs of all sorts, sometimes dirt and lots and lots of dust. Sometimes critters of various sizes. And it doesn't feel wrong in the dream (most of the time).
I think my subconscious is nagging me for not doing more house work.

Well, since it works in the water...
Happy birthday, Allyson!

This is extremely common, and is called a myoclonic or hypnic jerk: [link]
