Yummy fingernail clippers

I have had a dream previously about eating paperclips, but in last night's dream I ate a fingernail clipper. I bit off the bottom part up to the larger part and left that on the plate. The fingernail clippers were part of my plate of food, like you may have a stalk of celery next to the rest of your food. I had fingernail clippers.

In both of these dreams the action of eating metal objects was completely natural. But each time when I woke up, it's bothered me.

So this morning I did a quick search on dream interpretation and came up with three completely different explanations. First I learned that the type of metal seems important, though I have no clue what type of metal is used for these items. Steel wire would be my guess for the paperclips, and stainless steel for the fingernail clippers. So "steel" is the common denominator. Both were shiny, which also seems to be important from my quick search. Though I don't know why.

  1. One interpretation is that I rely too much on technology. Paperclips and fingernail clippers have been around for a long time, though, so I'm not sure how much I would rely on that interpretation.
  2. The other interpretation is that I'm biting off more than I can chew, so to speak. Isn't everybody?
  3. And the last was that the metal represents my sexual appetite or libido. But what does it mean? Do I have to see Vin Diesel more? or less

None of those interpretations seems related, so I'm not sure I really put any faith in any of them.

For whatever reason, lately I dream about eating metal. I think it's really weird.
