Tarantula

Tarantulas are powerful images of the feminine side of the dreamer, it connects to the shadow side – unconscious traits and behaviors that stem from the mother. It is common to be attacked by tarantulas as a warning relating to the creative, intuition and emotions that are not understood. They may also bite when these traits are not understood within in hopes the dreamer makes it conscious.

Symbolic of a sorcerer or a demonic spirit, Isa. 59:4-5

A tarantula in a dream represents a loathsome and an evil woman who interferes with people’s business and damages their interests, or who destroys what they repair and denies having anything to do with their sufferings. In a dream, this interpretation is based on the legendary nervous disease, formerly believed to be caused by a poisonous bite of a tarantula. Thus, when this harmless hairy spider is seen in a dream, it also could represent a lethal enemy of a fierce sting, scowling, or a despising look.
