Negatively a female spider can represent a devouring mother or female; the feminine power to possess or ensnare. Contrary to the negative attitudes we have about spiders, in Native American cultures spider is healing and helpful sign. For some spider is creator for others its trickster.
To dream of a spider, denotes that you will be careful and energetic in your labors, and fortune will be amassed to pleasing proportions.
To see one building its web, foretells that you will be happy and secure in your own home.
To kill one, signifies quarrels with your wife or sweetheart.
If one bites you, you will be the victim of unfaithfulness and will suffer from enemies in your business.
If you dream that you see many spiders hanging in their webs around you, foretells most favorable conditions, fortune, good health and friends.
To dream of a large spider confronting you, signifies that your elevation to fortune will be swift, unless you are in dangerous contact.
To dream that you see a very large spider and a small one coming towards you, denotes that you will be prosperous, and that you will feel for a time that you are immensely successful; but if the large one bites you, enemies will steal away your good fortune. If the little one bites you, you will be harassed with little spites and jealousies. To imagine that you are running from a large spider, denotes you will lose fortune in slighting opportunities. If you kill the spider you will eventually come into fair estate. If it afterwards returns to life and pursues you, you will be oppressed by sickness and wavering fortunes.
For a young woman to dream she sees gold spiders crawling around her, foretells that her fortune and prospect for happiness will improve, and new friends will surround her.

I don’t know where I was. Someone brought a bag full of freshly picked fruit/veggies. black spiders started crawling out of them, then on me. I tried to flick them off me with no success. More kept on coming. I asked a friend to help me, then I woke up.

I had a dream that a yellowish spider bit my hand and I had to rush to the hospital. As I woke up, the same spider that was in my dream was sitting on my bedroom door frame.

I dreamed there were two spiders, both about the size of a pancake…crawling around the furniture. One was hot pink in color (flourescent)) the other blue and green ( flourescent). I caught them both.

I had a dream that I was on Mars and there were giant robotic spiders coming towards me. And then in each of their limbs a spider grew out of it, and then those spiders limbs grew spiders, and so on (like a fractal) until they were atom sized. and then they consumed my entire body, and I could feel it, it felt like my entire body being impaled by hot needles!

I had a dream that I got out of my car. The drivers side door had spider webs over the top of it and there was a black spider (large body, little head and
legs.) It was making the webs and when I got out of the car it started to jump and get onto me. I got away but it developed wings and started flying short distances trying to get on to me, I was swatting at it with my purse and it would fly up, circle around and try landing on me again. It was coming in to try and land again when I woke up with my arms moving, trying to block it… I never knew spiders could fly, really weird… Need interpretation if anyone has one.

I was standing outside by a house and a very large redwood tree when all of the sudden a gigantic spider like 5 times my size showed up out of nowhere and i got scared. The next thing I knew it was shot up into the air and went above the redwood tree. I was just standing there watching it fall, telling myself I threw it up there, so hopefully when it hits the ground it dies. Then I ran into the house when it hit the ground. I was kind of at peace in this dream which is weird because I’m more scared of spiders than anything.

I dreamt that I was sleeping and saw my self wake up and look over and see my husband laying next to me asleep with his back to me. There were hundreds of spiders slowly crawling up my bed, down my walls, and all over my body until they started to crawl in my nose and mouth I couldn’t move. The spiders were all different sizes.

In my dream I was lying on a couch watching this very large spider with lots of beautiful colors crawl across the ceiling. In my dream someone in the background told me it was a Scottish spider. The spider then lowered it’s self onto my chest and I gasped and knocked it away.

I dreamed that I saw many webs and spiders around on some outdoor furniture. I sat down anyway and let the spiders alone. Under the front arm of my chair there was a sack of many different sized spiders. I just got up from the chair and sat on a nearby bench.
