In your dream everything seems normal, its not a nightmare at all. Then something touches your arm. You brush it away but still persists. Your concentration is broken so you look for the source of your distraction. To your horror you see a giant spider. No matter how you try you cannot brush it off your clothes.
In a panic you wake up. Terrified and feeling a bit like Ron Weasley who is equally terrified of spiders, you wonder “Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be “Follow the butterflies?” (IMDB) Freud might have a lot of explanations for your dream. But a better interpretation is: you need fiction to solve your nightmarish concerns. No need to psychoanalyze when some reader’s advisory has the cure.
To see a spider in your dream indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or perhaps you want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation. (DreamMoods)
While all dreams have positive and negative connotations, this dream interpretation will focus on the good outcomes of seeing a spider in your dreams. Spiders can represent going against the popular crowd and finding your own way. These YA novels will inspire you reject disruptive influences in your life by thinking about who your friends really are.
