White Spider Dream Meaning
White spiders are rare. When you see the white spider it is about letting go. Focusing on you. I bet you have not woken up without a doubt that things will get better. This is an old-school dream. When you woke this morning from the white spider dream, it means that the spirit is with you. White is about spirit. White is peace. White is a good sign for you. Maybe you been running with lazy people. It is time to run and get what you want. The white spider is about turning things upside down, you might find things go a bit crazy over the next few days. The other day I saw a spider with a white body, it looked like a white widow. Seeing a white bodied spider in a dream means deception of someone but it will turn out good.
Is the dream of a white spider good or bad?
I feel this is a good dream, but comes with a warning. You may find people become exposed. White is spiritual. The deception of someone will pan out well in the end. In the Persia tradition to dream of a white spider can indicate you will see a corpse. I know! Not sure if that is totally true. In my other dream books (pre-1930s) to dream of a white spider indicates a time of happiness and the spider means you will be protected. Often, crab spiders that live in gardens and meadows are sometimes white but also yellow and bright pink. White spiders are not dangerous to people in real life, they are in fact poisonous but the venom will not harm us. A user emailed me a few days ago about a white spider featured in their dream so I thought it was important to write a specific dream meaning about the white spider even though I have tons on my website already about spiders in general. I want to firstly say, there are a vast number of people who feel our dreamy state of mind has a “message” from the unknown and this is unexplained. I do agree. Dreams are also believed to showcase unconscious desires and wishes. They even give us some hints about our character and personality. The white spider does indeed look peaceful and holy being the color white you will be glad to know this is a positive dream.
Understanding the Meaning of the white spider dream
The white spider can creep you out no doubt about it! The dream of anything white, I feel is an omen from god, I do feel that the white spider is an omen of spiritual protection from negative activities in the waking world. To be chased by a white spider or being stuck in a big spider web could mean you are struggling with coming to terms with something important in life. If you see a white spider in real life this is also a great omen. Against theorists in the spiritual realm I believe that dark black spiders represent people that should not be trusted in my opinion. Seeing wriggly arthropods can mean several things depending on the details of the dream.
Cultural beliefs associated with the color white
The color white in dreams is the symbol of peace. For example, we think of white doves are a sign of peace. White is significantly used to portray many principles and values like elegance, innocence, purity, perfection, cleanliness, and dignity along with peace. This representation for the color white is witnessed prominently in Western culture. In many countries, white is also correlated with Angels, time and good health.
It is also related to embarking upon new beginnings and leaving behind the old unwanted things in life. Giving a fresh perspective to life is often glorified using white. White also refers to giving closure to the past mistakes that we make and a clean slate which needs you to redefine yourself.
For the people residing in the Eastern part of the globe, in Asian countries like China and Korea white is a sign for mourning and death. It is seen as a mark for bad luck.
So the presence of this color in your dream can suggest that your unconscious mind has a message for you to not compromise with your dignity and integrity in any persuasive situation. It is also said to be an indication for the hope of a new beginning when you find yourself locked in a problem or feeling rather stuck in an unwanted relationship.
