A decade ago I had a brutal tooth infection that fucked me up for several weeks. I'd had them all my life, but this one topped them all. I told the wife at the time if there'd been a loaded gun in the house...she'd be collecting my life insurance.
I went 72 hours without sleep - and ran a temperature of 104F. I was hallucinating and going completely ape-shit. But I had this freaky dream about having the teeth pulled and things getting back to normal.
After I finally killed off the tooth infection, I contacted my doctor and booked an appointment to have'em all extracted.
29 teeth pulled at once.
Never regrettted it. Dunno if I'd have man'd up and had the balls to commit to the procedure without the weird dream.
