The dream
Dream song of the night | Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams
In a giant amazonian river, at twilight, I was fighting with a giant camel spider beastie and it was thrashing around.
I managed to stretch out it’s legs in the water so they couldn’t poison me with their tips, but they kept curling around to bite me. It didn’t really feel like a nightmare, although I suppose you wouldn’t call it pleasant. I did drink a fair bit of alcohol before going to bed.
Then my ex-boyfriend was there, and then another ex-boyfriend, and then my male neighbour (who has never been a BF). They were yelling at me to get out of the water, but their faces kept melting away as I tried to get away from the spider and over to them.
There was a hotel involved somewhere, a clerk who was panicked and trying to find the anti-venom. He was most unhelpful. If I had to rate him for customer service while I lay there dying from a camel spider bite it would be pretty damn poor.
The real world
I hate spiders. There’s one who lives in my couch in the backyard, and neither me or my roommate will sit on it ever again. I found one in my pants once…while I had them on. I woke up and there was one on my face.
My ex-boyfriends ….hmmm.
Customer Service: I do it for a job, and frankly I don’t think its all that hard to helpful!
The dreambook says
Dreaming of spiders shows a fear of being entrapped in another’s power, especially a predatory, devouring female. It can also denote a stifling atmosphere within the family.
Barrett, D, 1992, The Encyclopaedia of Prediction, Acropolis Books
To see a muddy and/or raging river, signifies tumultuous times and jealousy in your life.
