I dream alot about spiders, and often have a reoccurring dream over and over so much that I can detail that dream and its always the same thought about seeking a dream interpreter

Recurring dreams about spiders can mean you want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation :)

i came to know that blind can dream, good post
