Spider

Most people treat the dream about spiders only as a nightmare. Even small spiders seen either on the wall, in the basement, or in the forest, cause fear and disgust. It is worse if it comes to their dreamy equivalent – e.g. an enormous tarantula walking over your body. This does not mean, however, that the dream is a bad omen. In many cultures the spider is after all a sacred animal. The meaning of the dream about spiders to a large extent depends on your relation to these creatures. It is good to know what the spider symbolizes in specific situations.
