Friend's spider dream

This dream was seen by my friend and she really wanted to record it somewhere in order to find the interpretation later.

It was seen in the early hours of the morning, say between 6-9am. She says she doesn’t remember much of the dream even though she generally manages to remember most of them. It is apparently due to the fear that was aroused in her while watching the dream which has caused her to forget parts of it.

She saw an assortment of spiders. Different types of them. The small ones and even weird ones which she had never seen before. She was extremely scared at their sight but at the same time she knew it’s just a phobia and she was being a little unreasonable perhaps. Point to be noted is that she is afraid of spiders in real. She says the spiders were all over the place and were coming from all directions.

Another point to be noted is that she doesn’t exactly remember everything. She just remembers 2 images- one of the little spider doing something on the wall and the other weird spider just appeared from somewhere and she got really scared. She only remembers getting the ‘feeling’ that spiders were all around her. However, she doesn’t quite remember the corresponding ‘images’. So she can’t be sure of that.

So basically, she’s wondering what these spiders stand for.

@raghu- yes, she fears them in real. but its not a case of arachnophobia. she just finds them creepy.

There are ossibly two ways we can take this. First, its important to ask ur friend if this is a recurring dream for her? If this is the case, then i believe its nothing symbolic and also since u mentioned that she had a real life fear of spiders, it makes sense. Dreams are a medium tro which our mind sometimes communicates to us and i believe that a lot of stuff that we avoid and stay away from in our daily life, it somehow comes our through dreams. Now since ur friend has a fear of spiders, im sure she does all she can to stay away from them n their presence. so in reality she is not giving her mind a chance to express that and hence it comes out as a dream. so like i said, if this was indeed a recurring dream, then u could ask your friend to do something that would create an interaction with spiders. she does not have to be physically next to one. she could go up on the internet and view pictures of spiders. just google it and stare at as many different images as she can. slowly her recurring dreams will start to become less frequent, because now she is giving her mind a chance to have some connection with her fear(spiders).
Now the second possibility is that this could NOT be a recurring dream. In this case, it would be interesting to know about the environment your friend is at currently. did she move to a new place? new job? Again as always i could be wrong and off base, but i assume the spiders represent a new set of people in her life, maybe at her job, who she is not ready to trust yet. Right now she probably finds them creepy n she could also possible have a fear of unknown people. the assortment of spiders would probably mean a variety of people, all different kinds, currently in her new environment. im thinking if the big weird spider would represent her boss/superior/principal depending on which environment she is at. The small spider could mean her co-workers/students/friend etc.
would be interesting to know.

@mac- nop, it's not a recurring dream. erm.. the interpretation didn't seem to be quite relevant to her since she doesn't really have anything new in her life at present although she WANTS a change of scenario. so may be the spiders could represent that WANT? :S
muchas gracias for taking the time to actually type all that out!! :D:D

Blogger Macabreday said...

well... if she wants a change of scenario, then that could be it. its just the fear of the unknown. we all have certain fears when we think of something new. a job, a course or whatever. So, yea, i guess the dream is indeed refering to a new enviromnent for her.
and ohh.. dont thank me..lol.. i love doin dream work...!!

Hmmmm ....

Interesting ....

The spiders were trying to build a cobweb, but they kept slipping down .

But they tried, tried again, and finally succeeded !

So the dream means that your friend has to try , try again, ....





... and again ...





till she finally figures out what the dream means ;)

U must have heard such a story about some king who was sitting in a cave and ... the spidey makes a web ...meaning ... try try again ....
