tangled web of dreams


Some people suffer from reoccurring dreams, i have heard of this often actually. i have a friend who has this horrible nightmare of a tornado that rips her home into tiny pieces, and she has had this dream over and over again. i have never had the same dream more than once. i dream every night. i can remember most of them too. they are usually completely random like hiking the La Luz trail with my 10th grade algebra teacher, the guy at jiffy lube and the stay puffed marshmallow man. I often dream about what i am worrying about while i am awake, school, work, boys. No matter what my dreams include whether it be me and star in a submarine at the battle of gettysburg or my little brother wearing a hockey mask in sacrament meeting my dreams always incorporate spiders. It is really weird. Spiders appear in one way or another. One might run across the screen of my dream, or i might come across one in a web some how, or i might find one on my lap while i am flying an F-16 to idaho. There is no theme or method. i am not irrationally afraid of spiders at all. Not that i like to share a shower or a bed with one. I am irrationally afraid of cockroaches and just the mention of them now has made me take my feet of the floor. Spiders i can bear. But why do they continue to show up in most of my dreams? what does this mean? there has to be some symbolism behind that somehow right? i have tried to find interpretations online but the good dream web sites cost something or involve voldermort's magic and are dark and twisted. There just has to be a reason behind it. i have no particular interest in them as a species, nor do i harbor any unhealthy attachment to them or men bitten by radio active ones. Tarantulas, black widows, giant spiders like that of "THE IT" or the ones that almost get frodo, the venezuelan ones that suck blood like in "ARACHNOPHOBIA", they have all made cameos in my dreams. so tell me what does this represent? what is my subconscious saying to me? cause i can't figure it out and am left puzzled, no tangled in a web of my dreams. that was total cheese i know.
