When we were kids our parents might have told us that spiders are poisonous, which is why some people are afraid of spiders, and even have nightmares about them. Actually, most spiders are not (dangerously) poisonous.
Spiders form webs, and this is something we often see in dreams. More often at night, spiders come out to weave their webs round and round to catch their prey. But what does it mean to dream of spiders or cobwebs? Is it good or bad? Next, let's take a look at Chinese dream theory!
Chinese Dream Interpretation Theory
'Zhou Duke Interprets Dreams' (周公解梦Zhou Gong Jie Meng) is the classic Chinese text that is the basis of most traditional Chinese dream interpretation theory. It's traditionally attributed to the Duke of Zhou (reign 1042–1035 BC), revered as the 'God of Dreams' and the 'First Sage'.
General Meanings of Dreams about Spiders
Spiders have many symbolic meanings according to Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams. In real life, people have had a high opinion of spiders from ancient times. For example, a chandelier represents the intriguing and artistic sense of a cobweb.
Dreaming of spiders and dreaming of a mandala have similar meanings. A spider web shape is like a mandala (a universal central-hub-with-radiating-elements design in Hindu/Buddhist mysticism) taking care of you and protecting you. Indeed, the spider itself is a body with eight radiating legs. On the spiritual level, a spider in a dream represents the creator. She weaves destiny with her body; that is why she is the creator.

Dream Meanings for Spiders in Various Contexts
Dreaming of scorpions and spiders indicates that there will be some conflicts between your desires and the reality, such as something that you do not want to do, but have to do, or a place that you do not want to go, but have to go. In the following day, you will be especially sensitive to criticism and your ideas are likely to be ignored. Put aside your arrogance and emotions for a while, so you can do more of what you should do.
Dreaming of spiders in the bed indicates that learning new things can bring luck. If you have something you want to learn, take advantage of these next two days!
