Jaws
To dream of seeing heavy, misshapen jaws, denotes disagreements, and ill feeling will be shown between friends.

If you dream that you are in the jaws of a wild beast, enemies will work injury to your affairs and happiness. This is a vexatious and perplexing dream.

If your own jaws ache with pain, you will be exposed to climatic changes, and malaria may cause you loss in health and finances.
