Black Widow in Dreams

Dreaming of a black widow signifies fear and hostility in relationships. You fear being overpowered and devoured by your mate. To overcome these inadequacies, develop your own strengths in some areas of the relationship to balance the struggles where one person cannot have the upper hand in every situation.

Black widow in dreams signifies hidden, underlying fears that come to the surface when we are unable to deal with them. It is also a symbol of betrayal. Its appearance in a dream symbolizes jealousy, anger and revenge.

  1. The black widow was stuck in my dogs fur and I tried to make it just go away, but it wouldn’t go; then as terrified as I am of spiders, I picked it off my dog, threw it on the ground, looked for something to squish it with and when I turned back around it jumped at me causing me to jump scare myself awake.

    • The black widow in your dream is a potent symbol of fear and danger. Its presence in your dream suggests that you are feeling anxious about a situation in your waking life. You may be struggling with a sense of powerlessness, unable to control the forces that are threatening you.

      Your fear of the spider is a powerful metaphor for your fear of the unknown. You may be feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, and the spider represents the unseen dangers lurking in the shadows of your mind. It is essential to confront these fears head-on, rather than avoiding them.

      In your dream, you tried to remove the spider from your dog’s fur, but it wouldn’t budge. This can symbolize your difficulty in removing your fear from your life. It may be that your fear has become so entwined with your daily routine that it is challenging to separate it from your actions and reactions.

      When the spider leaped at you after you threw it on the ground, it represents the persistence of your fear. Even when you try to remove it from your life, it comes back to haunt you. This may indicate that you need to take a more active role in facing your fears head-on. Instead of running from your fears, you should face them directly, and you may find that they lose their power over you.

  2. I had a dream that it was 3 black widows out to get me but one did jump on me and I couldn’t get it off my girlfriend woke me up and said I was shaking in my dream

    • You dreamt of three black widows, but one attacked you, and you couldn’t get it off. Spiders are archetypal symbols of creativity, feminine energy, and transformation. The black widow specifically connotes fear, death, and danger. However, they can also signify rebirth and regeneration, as their venom has medicinal properties that can cure some diseases. The number three often represents the trinity, which in dreams can manifest as the past, present, and future or the body, mind, and soul.

      Perhaps your dream is a warning that something in your life is toxic or dangerous, and it is time to release it. The black widow that attacked you could represent a person, situation, or behavior that is harming you. You may feel stuck, unable to get rid of it, but it is essential to confront the issue head-on. It could be a metaphorical poison that is slowly killing you. It is time to face your fear and take action.

      Another possibility is that your dream is a metaphor for your relationship with your girlfriend. The black widow that attacked you could represent a problem or conflict that you are struggling to resolve. The fact that you couldn’t get it off may suggest that you need your girlfriend’s help to overcome it. Communication and support are crucial to building healthy relationships.

      An example of this interpretation is a man who dreamt of a black widow in his bed with him and his wife. He was afraid that it meant his wife was cheating on him. However, upon reflection, he realized that the black widow was his fear of losing his wife’s affection. They had been going through a rough patch, and he felt neglected. The dream was a wake-up call for him to communicate his feelings to his wife, and they were able to work through their issues.

  3. Black widows usually in life represent danger or something were not comfortable with. They’re usually in dark places and spiders in general trap their prey and the most powerful ones are females. They’re small fighting things and usually are said to appear when there is infidelity or cheating in a relationship especially a married. couple.

    My partner has cheated on me and lied to me and we had a huge fight I had a dream right before I woke up about us in a car and talking (it looked like we were in an old truck) we were driving towards my perspective not away. When you see someone or something moving away it usually means you fear their lost unless your feelings are different, when they move towards you it usually means that it’s a present thing if your behind the object it means it’s probably something you will have to deal with in the future.

    Now back to the spider it bit him, and when I started to look around for it, it happened to appear it crawled from a dark crevice between wrinkled folds of a jacket I wore in my lap. From there is crawled up the sleeve I had gripped in my left hand, and almost made it to my index finger. I had feared getting bitten so I rolled down the window and tried to shake it off and into the night but it cringed to the window. So I tried to roll up the window but it wouldn’t roll up completely (it was a crank window) and this was strange to me so eventually it kept trying to get in and then finally stopped.

    I know it could have bit me but didn’t; it wasn’t after me but him.
    So this dream means a lot of things:
    1.The old truck symbolize that. this is an ongoing (old) problem that keeps reoccurring (old trucks usually can drive for long periods of time).
    2. It’s a present issue that may be ending soon or seems to be ending soon(third person-very very close)
    3. I believe I have the upper hand the Spider never bit me but bit him
    4. I believe my relationship to be volatile and non-productive to my personal growth. There was no web the spider set out to attack or destroy not keep to feed it’s self.
    5. To move forward I need to address issues at hand because they’re poisoning my goals with the relationship and what I hope to accomplish with it.

    • In your dream, you found yourself face-to-face with a venomous black widow spider, a symbol of danger and fear. Your instinctual reaction was to kill it, a sign of your determination to overcome your fears. But as soon as you dealt with one spider, another one appeared, and this time it escaped under the bed, indicating that the fear and danger were not fully resolved.

      Your partner was there to support you, but even together, you were faced with an overwhelming number of spiders crawling on the ceiling, representing the many small worries and anxieties that can build up and become overwhelming.

      This dream reflects your struggle with your own fears and anxieties. The spiders represent the things that make you feel vulnerable, out of control, or anxious. Your reaction to the spiders demonstrates your strength and determination to face your fears, but the fact that they keep appearing suggests that you may not have fully dealt with them yet.

      To better understand the symbolism of the spiders in your dream, consider other experiences in your life where you have felt anxious or overwhelmed. Perhaps there are things that you have been avoiding, or fears that you have been trying to push aside. This dream could be a sign that it’s time to confront those fears and anxieties head-on.

  5. I dreamt i was sleeping in a lower level room, like a basement, and when i woke from sleep (in dream) there were a couple hanging just above my head, i got really uncomfortable because i dont like spiders in general, so i grabbed my blanket and went upstairs to lay down. There i found another one dangling above me, so i decided to try and crush it and get rid of it, but the more i tried to kill it the more it bit me, all over my hands. It would crawl all over and keep biting me. Then i woke up, (still in dream) and explained to someone how i dreamt of being bit by a black widow over and over. Then finally actually woke up, the thought of the dream still grosses me out and gives me the creeps.

  6. I dreamnt that my husband and i were outside of a house. I do not know what or whos house. I seen a massive size black widow on the door panel in the top left corner just weaving in and out of the panel. Everytime i tried to show my husband the spider would hide and when he wasnt looking it came out. So i tried to zoom in with my phone to show him 1. There was a spider and 2. It was a black widow because of the red on its back. I caight a glimpse and he seen it. But it didnt phase or scare him. He went inside the house leaving me outside yet telling me to come on in there is nothing to worry about. I remember feeling very scared. Finally i ran into the house. After running into the house i felt relieved and calm and he proceeded to tell me “see there was nothing to worry about. The spider wasnt even worried about you.”

  8. In my dream I was I my room, crying because i broke up with my boyfriend (this didn’t happen in real life). The point is that I was standing and then I saw 3 black widow spiders running around my room, they were first in my floor but started climbing up my wall and doing like circles or something, they were just moving really fast and something weird really happened, they all turned white, apparently because my wall was just painted with white paint but I knew that didn’t happen. I yelled and called my dad to kill them, which is weird because I haven’t talked to him in 3 years. I left my room and some other weird things happened. What does it mean?

  9. My dream was terrifying. In real life we are moving and have been looking at houses online, one of which has seven acres. In dream life we bought that new house in my dream and I forgot to have it sprayed before we moved in. After about a week (dream time) of living there black widow webs started springing up everywhere. Every corner, every door way, in the entrance to some giant rock formations outside, in my daughter’s play place. At one point I even attempted to turn off color and everything went black and white EXCEPT the bright red hourglasses; there were hundreds of them. Like beady eyes in the dark, only they were red pulsating hourglasses. One of them dropped down randomly and bit my two year old on her thumb! I was freaking out and rushed her to the hospital. I don’t remember anything else. It was horrifyingly awful.

  10. I had a dream that I was getting the dust from the corners of my bedroom ceiling and on top of my widow frame there was a black widow, I didn’t know what it was. But I called my boyfriend over and he looked at it but we both just left it alone. I’m very confused as to what this symbolizes. I’m pregnant so I’m really unsure lol. And as we were leaving my room a black tarantula about the size of my foot (8 in woman’s) ran across my floor and we just ran out of the room closing the door behind me.

  12. I’m not currently in any relationship . however the other night I had a dream where a girl whom I do not know was standing in a stair way. near the corner of where she was standing was the biggest black widow I have ever seen with about 50 fangs right next to her I try to pull her back before the spider bites her. at this point I can see the devilish red of his hour glass getting closer and closer. and that’s when this girl decided to tell me not to touch her for the spider was her lover. some other random stuff happened but that’s the jist of my black widow dream.

  13. I dreamt a black widow was near my children so I had no choice to pick it up. When I did it crawls to the back of my arm and it bit me. I remember thinking that I was going to die unless someone helped me.

    • This also happened in my dream. I was trying to keep it away from my child. I remember seeing one start crawling up the back of my arm. I tried to get it, then I felt a bump. Like I had been bit. Then I started seeing different colors.

  14. I dreamed that a Black Widow spider was making a web in my terrarium (of plants) which were growing out of control so I had to remove the lid to trim them but when I went back to do so, the spider was gone, leaving its web there. There were also ants in there. It was very unsettling.

  15. I saw one black widow on the bed and reached for a paper towel that was lying close by but upon opening the paper towel I saw dozens inside. One of which was large and hour glass marking could be seen from the top. The small movement of the towel made most fall to the floor. I ran to the other room to get bug spray and when I came back the spiders were walking everywhere but I noticed people sitting all around even on floor and I screamed to get off the floor and sprayed some of the spiders but knew that some escaped. I then woke up.

  16. I had a dream about a black widow. It was black with red marks on the back. In my dream I told my boyfriend to kill it with a shoe and instead he sprayed it down with the waterholes it was on its back in the kitchen and I told my brother to kill it he hesitated but finally got up and as he went towards it the spider jumped up and started coming towards me jumping at me.

  17. In my dream, I laid on my bed. I looked up and tried to make of something on the ceiling
    I got off the bed since I couldn’t tell what it was. A tiny black widow was coming down towards my face, somehow I was laying down again. Again, I left the bed only to look back at the spider which was now as big as a baseball. I picked up a broom and hit although it was really hard to kill it I managed to kill it after a few hits.

  18. Hi. I had a dream where I saw a black widow spider crawling on a file cabinet in my home. I tried to kill it with a book a few time and thought I did. It ended up not dying (actually, I dreamed it FLEW away – LOL!). Then I woke up. What could this mean?
