I was sitting in what was supposed to be my car (but it looked more like a large, more spacious van), and I started seeing black widow spiders. They were on the floor, door, by the pedals, etc. I kept trying to step on them. I was worried that I would get bitten.

I remember having this little dream as I was waking up. I was looking in this plastic container for something. It was mostly opaque, but the sun was shining on the side of it and making the inside light up some. There was a little dirt in the bottom. I leaned closer so I could see what else was in it. Suddenly I saw a big black widow right there. It startled me and I woke up.

My dreaming has been off. I have been out of town several times recently including a week in Phoenix this last week. The one dream I really remember was one that included a dream sign that I should have picked up on, but I didn't.

Dream:

I was following several people into this cave. I could feel my legs brush past all these spider webs. I was wearing shorts. I shined my light on the webs and could see that the whole cave was covered with spider webs to about hip level. At first I thought that they were just little house spiders. I was going to just tough it out and plow right through them. Then I realized that they were probably the big orb web spiders I had seen when I was kayaking outside of the cave. Of course it would be the same kind of spiders. With that thought I started to panic. I wanted to run, but I was surrounded by spiders. No matter which way I went I would have to go through spiders.


This dream was inspired by that kayaking trip a few weeks ago where the tamarisk trees were just covered with huge numbers of fat orb web spiders.

Dream 1:

I was about to go on this date to this very fancy restaurant. I was wearing a beautiful formal dress that was black and white. My date was due to arrive in 10 minutes.

But then I looked in the mirror and to my horror saw that my hair was really messy. I could tell that I hadn't washed it for days. There wasn't time for a full shower so I ran to the bathroon sink to quickly wash my hair.

But the next thing I know is that I am doing a herbal hair treatment (like I sometimes do in real life). My hair was slimy and green from all the cooked herbs that I had rubbed in. I wondered why in the world I would have started something like that. I was supposed to leave that in my hair for an hour. I only had five minutes left. I also realized that I wasn't even supposed to shampoo immediately after rinsing the herbs out. What had I been thinking? I needed to rinse the herbs out fast. So I started rinsing and rinsing, But every time I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair was still full of green herbs and even things that looked like cooked carrots. Since the rinsing wasn't working I started to try to comb out all the herbs, but nothing seemed to be working. I could hear my date in the next room. I knew I was running very late. I didn't know if the herbs would ever come out of my hair.

Dream 2:

I walked outside my dorm and could see all these fat orb web spiders all over the sidewalk. I knew that someone had moved these over here from somewhere else. I felt upset since I knew some would eventually get inside of my dorm.

[This spider dream was triggered by all the orb web spiders I saw on my kayaking trip last week. The water in lake powell has been rising and all the sipders living in the tamarkis trees are being forced to the few high ones left, and those are literally covered with big fat orb web spiders. It was fascinating and freaky at the same time.]

Dream 3:

I was wearing new socks. They were just like my grey ones, except these were purple.
