Why do we dream about cobwebs? There are many associations with the symbolic dream of cobwebs from spiders, its tangled webs may reflect our need to be a more organized and conscientious person. This could mean someone is using an unorganized way of living and therefore liable to failure in whichever line of work they choose. When unorganized, your feelings and desires will encounter impasses or difficult stages, trapping ourselves in a constant cycle of doing the same things without success.
An abundance of cobwebs in a dream are a representation of our own thoughts which have collected over time and created tight knots, branches and loops with which to trap any prey that fly into it. You may first see cobwebs when you have long forgotten hobbies or pastimes.
