What do spiders in dreams mean?

I have recently been having dreams of spiders crawling on my bed. I dream that I open my eyes and see the spider and then jump up screaming until my husband wakes me up. We recently moved to a new home and have both been seeing strange things moving in the house. Could the dreams be related to the "spirit?" How do I stop the dreams from happening. I've had 4-5 dreams in the past 3 weeks.

I just had a dream like yours a while ago and it felt as if it were happening to me on the very same position i am in.  Which is laying on my bed. It felt sooo real and I'm terrified of spiders so idk what this means for me.

Last night I was up late and I kept hearing creepy things, the house heater turned on which ours we have to do manually unless someone changed the settings, and I was up late on the computer and kept hearing creeky noises from our wood floors. I could've just been imagining it, but last night I had a dream that I was walking on the street going towards my home and two big plum sized round light yellow spiders with tiny legs were hanging on a string. I thought I felt one snatch onto my back, thought i could feel the web, so I was trying to get it off and I went inside and there were a bunch of these water filled bubble/ballon type things sticking to the wall and one of the spiders was caught in one of them. I asked "what are these for" and someone said, to catch pests, and I replyed that there was a spider in this one and they came to look and said "wow, and it looks like its thriving and still moving and living just fine" i dont know if our paranoia is whats causing these large round spider dreams or what!

I am having the same experiences after moving into a new house. This house is a dream house for us, but i felt like there was a spirit living here.

I decided to make peace with him and ignore him. In my past i have had "visits" from deceased family members and friends. So i felt he was here.

So right now, I am uncertain if i should stay in this house or not. There seems to be one problem after the next, one of which are way toooo many spiders in the house, and in my dreams.

One night a spider fell down in front of my face and got my attention, then i noticed the smell of gas. Sure enough, the gas company said i had a pretty big leak right outside my bedroom window! At night i would leave the windows open to hear the frogs and crickets.

Next time, i was on the phone making a decision to travel to an event, the spider caught my attention. The next week, there was a huge fire up at the same event.

Spiders for me, are a protector spirit. They come in "real life" and in dreams to guide me.

I am being "scared into" creating new art as well. The message is GET Creative or Else!

So, I do feel you have a spirit that was following you around, you need to get creative with some type of art work or creative project and you might have some things in your house that are harmful and need fixing/attention.

On the MEDICAL side, look up hypnagogia. I have had these since i was a child. Back then, they terrified me, now i know it is something for my own good. Sometimes still scares me, but then i remember and go back to sleep.

So, understand that a spirit is just energy, like you and me. Do what feels right for you. Whether making friends or getting him/her to leave you alone.

I wish you the best...

Hey, I am from Brazil and I have the same spider dreams. Actually, I dont think it is a dream, but a vision. I dont think it is the devil, I think its a kind of guard angel that is allways coming to check if everything is ok with you. I am not sure about it, but many experiences had told me that. Hope so.

Check out Dr. Sherr's belief on spider dreams and Lyme. May have my daughter tested to see if her dreams are related to this.
