![]() Getting a spider bite in a dream may “relate to the last couple of days, where you felt you actually got in touch with a painful feeling about something,” she explains. I can stamp on one spider but I can’t stamp on this many.’ It’s more a feeling of overwhelm about the situation.” Ask yourself: Do you feel trapped by multiple people or factors?Īnderson says bites come up more often in dreams about snakes, but they’re also a feasible plot twist in dreams about spiders. “Your dream brain is like, ‘Now, look, this is really big really notice this, there are loads of spiders here.’ It could just be making a dramatic point … ‘Everywhere I look, there’s a spider in my life everywhere I look, there’s a web I can’t manage it. Similar to tornadoes in dreams and alligators in dreams, dreams about a large quantity of spiders and/or one giant spider could be your subconscious “upping the ante,” Anderson suggests. If you’re dreaming about a bunch of spiders or one big spider … This, according to Anderson, may be “an escalation of that same theme.” When you wake up, ask yourself: “Where in the past few days have I felt like I’ve been totally prey to something and I’m going to get eaten alive?” Once you’ve pinpointed the situation, she adds, “you can look at it and say, ‘Well, is that my perception of that or is that my illusion, can I actually change, can I turn that around?” If you dream the spider has you all wrapped up like a bug and is about to feast on you … “Spiders may come up in your dreams when you’ve got that sense like, ‘ I feel like I’m very stuck in something that I can’t get out of, or I feel like I’m maybe afraid of somebody - I feel like there’s a sticky situation around me.’” “Spiders produce sticky webs, and we can get caught in them very easily, walking into them without seeing them, or trying to clean them up and they get stuck on your fingers,” Anderson notes.

So in that sense, spiders may represent our fears of what may suddenly appear in our lives, what scary things may suddenly come out of the dark corners, emotionally or physically.” But again, Anderson stressed, dream symbolism is highly subjective, and a spider in my dream may not mean the same thing as a spider in yours. Still, she noted, many people probably think of spiders as “creatures that can suddenly come out of the dark. If you had a particularly frightening experience with spiders when you were 3,” for example, “then a spider may call back to that.” ![]() Therefore, Anderson says, the meaning of a spider in your dream “will depend on your personal experience of spiders. At the same time, it’s also placing that information in the context of your personal history. ![]() “I look at dreams as processing your conscious and unconscious experiences over the last couple of days to try to make sense of your world,” Anderson tells the Cut. When you dream about spiders, it could be your brain sending you a warning about sticky situations ahead - however, according to dream analyst and author of the forthcoming book Bird of Paradise: Taming the Unconscious to Bring Your Dreams to Fruition, Jane Teresa Anderson, the symbolism of a spider in a dream will depend on your personal associations with spiders.
