Black Spiders and frequent dreaming

Postby lunar*dandelions » Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:18 pm

Ok, my first problem is my frequent dreaming. I know that doesn't sound like much of an issue, but it's really getting to me. I usually don't remember any of the dreams, but I have these dreams every. single. night. I'd like to go through one night without a thousand pictures running through my head. The number of nightmares has spiked up, too. Nothing too drastic has happened in my life, so I'm not sure what the cause is.

Then the other night, I had a dream that there were a bunch of black spiders crawling around in my bed. I was screaming, wondering if they were going to bite me, but none of them actually did. I was wearing pants (for whatever reason) that had really big pockets. When I put my hands in the pockets, I grabbed a handful of the black spiders and freaked. So it'd be nice if anyone had any idea about what this means?

Everybody dreams every night of their lives, but only some remember. The cause for dreams is to solve or confront a problem in life, the black spiders perhaps represent a situation of problem that you feel is swamping you, covering you and surrounding you.

No-one can really interpret dreams except you, i am sure soon enough someone will come up with "Oh hai, i just read a page on the interwebz that says spiders are about a message" or something along those lines. For the most part that is untrue. Consider yourself, im guessing you are afraid of spiders so perhaps to you they are representing a fear or negative thing. But what of a man who keeps spiders as pets, hundreds, tarantulas, black widows, all sorts... would a dream about spiders for him be negative? Nope, the spiders in his dreams could represent affection or happiness, mystery and excitement. So the guides on the internet are 95% BS written by people who cant even spell "psychology" let alone write a guide on it.

You need to find the meaning of the dreams and only you, or a trained psychologist, can do that. So what do spiders mean to you? What do you feel about them? And what did the dream feel like? Were your sort of smothered by spiders or were they just on the bed? Did you feel like you were "drowning in spiders" or were they just annoying etc....

Dreams are metaphorical so for example a tornado or massive storm in a nightmare would *generally* mean some sort of turbulence in life, a new situation, a new adversary or new problem, a whole change of situation like being evicted etc... so see how the metaphor of a whirlwind of destruction in a dream represents a whirlwind of destructive or negative change in real life.

If you tell us more then we can help a bit more.

There wasn't a whole lot more to the dream, but thanks for replying :)
