Dream about a spider

Hey all, first post here.

I decided to seek some opinions about this dream because it has been soooo long since i had a dream this lucid, i can remember almost everything of the dream, and it even made me wake up very eraly beacause of it, something that doesn't regularly happens to me, even with nightmares.

Well, it starts with my best friend surfing the web on my computer (in my home). I turned to watch the monitor when suddendly i notice lots and lots (and i mean LOTS) of webs around my monitor, CPU, desk, etc. Like, millions of webs, something like how you see webs on buildings loooong ago deserted, or when you see people enter a crypt in the movies. There were only webs in my computer set up, no other place in my room had webs. (probably something to do with me spending too much time on the computer?)

I was very surprised, but for some reason, my friend appeared oblivious to all the webs, as if it was something normal. He didn't pay attention to me and continued surfing the web.
After that, i spotted BIG, brown spider legs emerging from a hole in the CPU case (spider was living inside my CPU). I ran for a shoe to kill the spider but for some reason i could never hit it, as if something was deliberately deviating my strikes or the spider had some kind of force field.

I started to get nervous and anxious to kill it, because i'm very afraid of spiders. I chased it all the way to the bathroom. It felt like this spider was more inteligent than any other animal, as if it was just tricking, teasing or having fun with me. Whenever i tried to strike it, it would run from me first slowly then, when gaining momentum, traveled with small hops, (just like a rabbit in a prairie). When i finally reached the bathroom where it went, i saw another spider, this time in the wall, but this spider was completely different.

It was the size of an orange, also orange in color and had tiny pincers like a crab. (It may have been a crab, i cannot remember for certain) The pincers were metallic, as if the spider had steel guantlets or something like that. The pincers were united with a small chain. It seemed as if the spider had some kind of shackles put on its tiny pincers. As i came closer to inspecting this new creature I woke up, at seven AM, with a slight headache.

Thanks for reading!
