spider in my dream
48 Answers
I dreamt of a big spider last night, it had a fat orange belly, and it was very very big, it was crawling towards me, and my youngest stepped on it by accident whilst i was looking for a jar to put it in, and it was squirming, it wasn't dead though, i was terrified...i woke up in a sweat when she stepped on it, as i panicked. What does this mean, im so anxious since.

Hi rozia, I'm sorry to hear you had such a disturbing dream, I have bad dreams like that too sometimes, and I know how weird that feels. I wouldn't listen to people who say dreams don't mean anything, because they do. (Not like the "Dream Dictionaries " say with the symbolism... like if you dream of water you're going to go travelling etc.) If you think about it,...

Hi rozia, I'm sorry to hear you had such a disturbing dream, I have bad dreams like that too sometimes, and I know how weird that feels. I wouldn't listen to people who say dreams don't mean anything, because they do. (Not like the "Dream Dictionaries" say with the symbolism...like if you dream of water you're going to go travelling etc.) If you think about it, your brain is processing so many things every day, every thought, touch, taste, sound,smell and sight--where does all that information go? Most of it into your subconscious mind. So when you go to sleep, your brain tries to sort it out, whether it's present or past, all the memories and feelings are all jumbled up in there, needing to be organised. Sometimes, if you're feeling espescially emotional or stressful, your subconscious mind will throw some pretty vivid images at you in your dreams. I find it's best to tell someone who's very close to me my dream, as they can usually relate the symbols to something that's going on in my life at the time. I've done this for my husband to help him figure out what his dream meant. Obviously I don't know you, but are you very afraid of spiders? Because maybe you have a fear of something and it's manifesting itself in your subconscious as the spider? And could it be that by you wanting to put that spider in a jar you are trying to contain or keep something away... or are you keeping something in?
utepoot, thanks for your answer, i have had a lot on my mind, have been thinking of leaving my partner of 9 years, but don't really have a valid excuse to leave, have been feeling down, trying for a baby, not had any luck, hate him for it, not his fault. I just don't want to be with him these days, feel so depressed, and so close to the edge (the dream may have been telling me something) but i can't be erratic, as i have 2 beautiful children already, and they are my life and soul. Sometimes i sit and think'why do i feel this way' but nothing seems to help, no matter what someone does for me, won't make me better when im in the state of mind, i don't cry/scream/shout, i just sit and worry, and think all the time. I don't sleep, but i eat like a pig, put on 2 stone, and have no motivation to lose it. I just want to be happy again. sorry for the dull reply, just so glad that someone understands.
Hi rozia, have you been to see your GP at all about your feelings? Perhaps there is a medical reason for it, like could you possibly be clinically depressed, or hormonal for some reason? Some blood tests may be needed. Also, it may help if your Doctor referred you to get some help from a counsellor of some sort. It sounds to me like you might need a hand organising your thoughts and plans for the future. Maybe once you have a clearer idea of what will make you happy, you can move forward to a happier situation that will benefit you and your family. Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
