I dreamt I was in a dimly lit room.  I was with a woman. I believe I know her personally.   She made an attempt to walk towards a certain area of the room buy I observe a black scorpion on the ground in the area and stopped her.  The scorpion was about the size of a pillow.   I then felt pain all over my body and it occured to me that my body was shutting down while I felt the pain. I felt like I was dying.   Wish I knew what it all meant.

I wrote a beautiful reply in the wrong place and it vanished but here it is again:

Your feminine nature is dim in your life, but its in the same room so in the subconscious not too far from the surface of who you can completely be. You protect this feminine energy, archetype, aspect of your personality from the approaching scorpion. You take the bite unknowingly and feel the pain of protecting her, maybe even hiding her from the poison of the scorpion. Its painful to let your masculine self subside to allow the feminine to surface. And the size of the scorpion matters considering you use the reference of 'the size of a pillow" meaning the amount of poison is enough to put her to sleep or smoother her to death.
Keep working on bringing that aspect of yourself in balance with your masculine side. Its not easy to define in todays world what is feminine and masculine.  Its so stereotyped but some examples of feminine would be a caring and compassionate nature, one that is patient, nurturing, willing to teach, do things from scratch like giving birth to an idea without knowing the finished product.
Take care,  Camille

C'est incroyable ! On dirait que tu vis ton propre « monde onirique » chaque nuit, comme si tu contrôlais ton propre jeu vidéo ou film. C'est rare, certes, mais pas bizarre non plus : il existe un phénomène appelé rêve lucide, qui permet de contrôler certains aspects de ses rêves. Certains s'entraînent même pour s'améliorer ! Ta femme ne comprendra peut-être pas tout, mais ça a l'air d'être une capacité fascinante. Le fait que tu puisses rectifier le tir si les choses dérapent est vraiment impressionnant. Continue comme ça !
