Dream Interpretation: Spiders in dreams – an example of synchronicity
A spider in dreams represents a hidden danger that the dreamer cannot see. He or she is not doing something that cannot be postponed and must be done immediately for his or her own safety or the safety of his or her reputation.
No matter how big the spider is, it will be the size of the danger. If you see a small spider, the danger you are not seeing is not so dangerous. However, if you see a big spider in a dream, this means that you are in great danger, and if you don’t do something drastic to save your life or your reputation, you will go through a lot of suffering, and I very much regret that I didn’t do something to save your life or reputation. avoid so much pain, or so many problems.
If you see a lot of spiders in a dream, this means that there are a lot of very important actions that you need to take, otherwise you will find yourself in sad situations.
You may be making a serious mistake, not paying attention to what you are doing. Or, you could be ignoring a serious obligation, something that is basic to your good standing as a responsible human being.
I once saw in a dream a black spider that was big enough to be considered an insect, but it wasn’t that big, compared to the largest size a spider can be. When I woke up I saw in my room a spider the same size as the one in my dream. I was in Brazil, at a friend’s house in Sao Paulo. These houses so close to the street tend to attract many strange and large insects.
When there is a coincidence with the dream you saw and what happens to you in your waking life, this means that you are observing the phenomenon of synchronicity, as defined by Carl Jung.
There was something very important that he was not doing, something that could be very bad, especially since the spider was very black. The black color indicates acceptance of the bad. So, the black spider represents the acceptance of inertia, instead of taking action and doing something that is indispensable.
At first I couldn’t figure out what I wasn’t doing… but then I understood my mistake. She had visited the father of a teenage orphan who had married a second wife and abandoned his two children with his first wife, who had died. He lived in another city near Sao Paulo (Valinhos) and had to go there, talk to him and his new wife.
However, they did not care about this poor teenager who felt rejected, and nothing was done. So I asked her godmother to pay for her treatment with a psychologist, since I understood that she had serious psychological problems. She agreed and I thought that everything was settled, feeling grateful that at least her godmother cared for this abandoned teenager, who lived with her grandmother.
However, I had forgotten to convince the teenager to agree to treatment with a psychologist… This was also essential, because he resisted. I talked to him for a while and in the end he agreed to psychotherapy. If I had traveled back to Greece without convincing him, I would not have helped him in any way, after all my efforts.
Fortunately, the warning I had with the spider in my dream, and the confirmation of the importance of this symbol with the appearance of a real spider in my bedroom (synchronicity) prevented me from being so foolish and leaving without completing my mission.
