Teeth falling out dream meaning in Islam

What the classical Islamic books of dream interpretation say about this symbol, with the book and page.

What al-Nabulsi wrote

Did your teeth fall out in a dream? Al-Nabulsi wrote in Ta'tir al-Anam that teeth in a dream may point to a long life. Upper teeth falling into one's hand may point to wealth, and for one in debt, to the debt being paid. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best. Saw something you dislike? Seek refuge in Allah, and don't tell anyone about it.

From the book

  • «الأسنان من الإنسان في المنام طول العمر دون نظرائه في السن»“A person's teeth in a dream: a long life, beyond one's peers in age”
  • «أن أسنانه العليا سقطت في يده فهو مال يصير إليه»“That one's upper teeth fell into one's hand: it is wealth that comes to one”
  • «ومن كان عليه دين إذا سقطت أسنانه في المنام فإن ذلك يدل على أنه يقضي دينه»“Whoever is in debt, if one's teeth fall out in the dream, this points to one paying the debt”
