Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Similar to a toothbrush, toothpaste is a tool that connects to caring for the teeth, the symbol of security and the ability to attract love and take in sustenance. Toothpaste is more in alignment with keeping the teeth attractive and healthy, and so in a dream it represents having this ability at hand. However, like many elements of self-care, you have to use it for it to do any good.

Ariadne's Book of Dream

by Ariadne Green
Toothpaste freshens the mouth and cleans the teeth. Receiving a tube of toothpaste in a dream may suggest the need to watch your words; you may be putting a bad flavor in the air. Toothpaste may also bnng a literal message, commenting that you had better brush your teeth more regularly because you have bad breath.
