Mythical Spider Archetype

There’s a large spider in a web in the corner of my living room. It’s the size of a small throw pillow with legs. Very hairy. Black and red. It’s in the family room in the corner by the television. Mom and Dad want it out of the house. I’m intimidated by its size but want to leave it be because it’s not hurting anything. Its web is more like a birds nest and the spider just sits in the next like a chicken on an egg. As i watch, a silvery thin ghost-like spider drops out of the spider’s belly. It reminds me of ectoplasm and it makes me nervous because i don’t know which is the real spider anymore. The silvery thing drops to the floor and runs off. This happens several times over what seems like a period of hours or maybe days. I think the spider is molting and the silvery thing is just the old shell being sloughed off but i’m not sure. The spider begins to move out of the nest. Mom, Dad, and i run back to their bedroom (now we’re in the Manassas house). We shut the door and wait. We can hear the spider and another large ?insect coming up the hall talking. The insect bug is telling the spider to seal the doors shut. When it gets to the door of the room we’re hiding in i ask the spider why she is listening to that insect and sealing us in when we let her make herself at home in our home. I’m angry and sad that she would be so easily swayed against the people who protected her while she was vulnerable.

Anther dream.

A woman is having a baby. I don’t think i know her. Something about the baby is strange? Or maybe it’s something about the birth itself that is odd. That’s all i can remember right now.

Another dream.

I come into the kitchen of my current house. Mom is cooking something on the stove. She turns to me and is holding her hand up to her right temple and i can tell she’s in great pain. I’m worried she’s having a stroke and ask her if i should call 9-1-1 and get an ambulance. She tells me it’s just a bad headache and seems to recover but i’m worried and wonder if i should give her an aspirin anyways.
