Spiders in Dreams: The Web of Fate and Creativity

The Weaver

The spider is an ancient symbol of the Creator. It weaves a world from within itself. Dreaming of a spider can mean you are in a high creative period. You are weaving your destiny.

The Trap

On the flip side, a spider web is a trap.

• Do you feel stuck in a "web of lies"?
• Are you in a controlling relationship (the "devouring mother" archetype)?
• Do you feel paralyzed by a complex situation?

Fear

If you have arachnophobia, the spider is simply a generic fear symbol. But if you don't, look closer at the web. Is it a trap, or a masterpiece?
