Chocolate and Scorpions

It was Christmas and my Mom and I were staying with some friends in a lovely mansion. There was a pack of dogs. My Mom brought me slabs and slabs of chocolate, like slabs of wax one buys in bulk to make candles: milk chocolate, dark, with almonds, with english toffee, white chocolate, peanut butter fudge...and cookies. It was madness. I was gleeful.  
 
She was making dinner in the kitchen, a festive affair with steam and clanging pots and pans, roasting chicken and all sorts of lovely herbs. I bought a scorpion from a petshop and took it home. It was a persnickety thing and refused to stay caged. I gave chase with a spatula and oven mitts, still too afraid to pick it up. 
 
Handy Dandy Interpretation: Chocolate is a sensual/sexual pleasure, and can also be a sign of hunger. The scorpion is akin to the phoenix as a symbol of rebirth, letting something old and painful go and letting something new come in. Eureka! Sexual rejuvenation! 
 
Or it could just mean that 1. I wanted some chocolate, and 2. I was thinking about big black Emperor scorpions.

Man, I couldn't say what scorpion dreams mean for you, but they're pretty f-cking significant in my cogworks. I couldn't tell you exactly *what* they mean, but I've had something like 10 or 12 dreams about Jezebel... maybe even more... mostly about her dying. I've never dreamed so much on a single topic before, at all. It's all very strange. Haven't had one in a long time, though.
