What’s bugging you?
I was recently interviewed for an article in Pure WOW magazine about bugs in dreams, spiders in particular. And what I forgot to mention is the fact that, because of COVID, one recurring dream themes many people are reporting during this pandemic is about bugs.
You’re not going to love this part—blame it on the late, great, Carl Jung. He said, “Everyone in our dreams is us (or at least an aspect of ourselves).”
Soooo… if you’re having bug or spider dreams, ask yourself, “What’s bugging me?” or “What bugs me about myself…that I need to change?”
The strange but profound blessing of having bugs in your dreams is that the issue it represents is in plain sight. In other words, by the time we dream about something that means we're ready to make the change. We can't do anything about what's in our blind spot, but we can certainly do something about what becomes crystal clear.
Thank you, dreams!
Here are a few things I said in the article about Spider Dreams:
1. You’re tapping into your inner strategist (or seductress)
“Some animals pounce, some intimidate, some are elusive—but the spider lures in its prey...Because everyone and everything in your dream is you, dreams of a spider [may] symbolize that you are connecting with the part of yourself that is strategic, methodical, enticing and seductive.” Sounds intriguing, right? If one of these dream weavers makes an appearance while you’re snoozing, consider that your subconscious might be trying to tell you that a methodical approach is in order when it comes to accomplishing your more complicated designs.
2. A message to let things come your way
Indeed, per Walden, “dreams of a spider are the ultimate message that you are weaving your dreams into reality.” Still this dream expert is quick to add that the takeaway could very well be that your best bet is to channel the spider’s patience: “Because spiders weave a web that draws their sustenance to them, this dream may be a message to stop running around, slow down, make your space appealing and await the energy and attention that comes to you.” (Plus, no one is going anywhere these days anyway, so we’d say that’s a pretty sound strategy to practice in waking life.)
3. Prosperity is on your mind
What do spiders have to do with prosperity? Walden points out that the anatomy of a spider is also key to understanding its symbolism in dreams, positing that its eight legs carry the same significance as the number in general—namely “abundance, prosperity and infinity.” Bottom line: Walden’s view is that no matter how you feel about these creatures in real life, a nighttime visit from a spider may in fact be a good omen. Or, at the very least, a message that you should follow your dreams (rather than, say, swat at them with a broom). These eight-legged friends are the original dream-weavers after all.
