More Scorpions

This is the umpteenth time I've had a dream involving scorpions, but I've not had that many lately. Scorpions scare the crap out of me, even though I've never lived in places where I've had to worry about them. I've never been stung by one or in any other way traumatized by them. In my dream last night, I was living in the house I grew up in from fourth grade until graduation, but there were slight modifications to the house. The dream started with me waking up in bed to see a scorpion crawl across my hardwood floor (in reality, it was a carpet floor) towards my bed. Rather, I didn't see it at first, I heard the very distinct clicking sounds that it made as it crawled, then I saw it. Someone I didn't know was at my door coaching me on how to get out of the room without being stung and without being detected by the scorpion. However, once I was able to get out of my room, the living room was crawling with them. Finally, a piece of chicken was thrown on the floor to attract them to a central area. I was able to sneak downstairs and found my brothers playing happily with toys amidst the commotion and almost certain death that was awaiting us upstairs. Slowly, I crept back up the stairs and made a pot of coffee for the man who would come and get rid of these nasty creatures. The coffee turned out very weak, so I had to pour it down the drain and try again. The man finally approached our house up the walkway (which, in actuality, was the walkway of my grandparent's house) and came in the house to take care of our scorpion problem. But before he would begin, he sat down on our couch and had a leisurely cup of joe first. Just as he began to crush the scorpions, one managed to sneak away from the chicken and came up and was about to bite me on my ankle. Then, I woke up.

Dream interpretation from this website says that I need to be mindful of a situation that can inflict pain on me (that's the scorpion part). The coffee can apparently connote several different things - that I'm in need of stimulation, that I need to "wake up and smell the coffee", or simply that I seek communion or socialization. Another site says that the scorpion is a sign of destructive feelings, thoughts, or words against me and that the coffee represents a need to slow down. Yet another site says that the scorpion is a symbol of death and rebirth - out with the old and in with the new, and that the coffee represents a need to gain insight about something before making a decision.

Do I think there's anything to this? Partly, but I also checked for bedbugs in my sheets as soon as I woke up!
