A broken retainer signifies the failure of restraint and the loss of guarded speech. The strength of a hold vanishes when the thing that keeps it fails. This dream is read as a sign of uncontrolled expression rather than a loss of material assets.
The fracture indicates a breach in the discipline that once governed communication. When the retainer is broken, the capacity for silence or measured words is withdrawn. A sudden release of what was held can lead to a state of indiscretion. A damaged boundary remains, but its power to prevent leakage is diminished.
The breakage of a retainer forces the collapse of restraint to occur in an instant.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a retainer
I have this recurring dream about waking up and trying to take my retainers out of my mouth but it breaks and a single piece of many come out at a time (anywhere from 2-8 pieces per retainer).
