What does it mean to dream about spiders?
Spiders in dreams often represent something that feels tangled, a situation you feel 'caught' in, or a person you sense is manipulative. The web can symbolize feeling trapped — or, more positively, the patient way you're building something.
A large or threatening spider can reflect a fear or anxiety looming over you. Being caught in a web may mirror a relationship or obligation you feel stuck in. But spiders also symbolize creativity and feminine power in many traditions, so context matters.
Where in your life do you feel entangled — and is the web something to escape, or something you're patiently weaving?
