Dreaming of pain signifies sorrow and regret. If you experience toothache in your dream, it suggests that you are about to hear painful words from a relative related to that tooth. On the other hand, if you feel pain in your neck, it may indicate a physical illness. Such dreams can reflect some uncomfortable situations in your life.
