What does it mean?

[Timandra]

Last night I dreamed about a diamond spider, and I looked at it with fascination. It looked like a huge living brooch. Normally I am not fond of spiders, but I wasn't afraid of this one although it was quite large. Larger than a tarantula, approx 20 cm. The body was a transparant pink colour, the legs were different sizes of white diamonds. I hardly ever dream about spiders, so does anyone have an idea what it can mean?

maybe your subconscious is asking you, "why are you afraid of them?" and the brooch is a symbol of there's nothing to fear about them?


idk that's just an idea coming from someone whose also afraid of spiders.

Spiders

To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or that you may want to keep your distance and  stay away from an alluring and tempting situation.  The spider is also symbolic of feminine power. Alternatively, a spider may refer to a powerful force protecting you against  your self-destructive behavior. If you kill a spider, it symbolizes misfortune and general bad luck.

To see a spider spinning a web in your dream, signifies that you will be rewarded for your hard work. You will soon find yourself promoted in your job or recognized for your achievement in a difficult task.  Spiders are a symbol of creativity due to the intricate webs they spin. On a negative note, spiders may indicate a feeling of being entangled or trapped in a sticky or clingy relationship. It represents some ensnaring and controlling force. You may feel that someone or some situation is sucking the life right out of you. Alternatively, if a spider is spinning a web in your dream, then it could be a metaphor for the world wide web and global communication.

To see a spider climbing up a wall in your dream, denotes that your desires will be soon be realized.

To dream that you are bitten by a spider, represents a conflict with your mother or some dominant female figure in your life. The dream may be a metaphor for a devouring mother or the feminine power to possess and entrap. Perhaps you are feeling trapped by some relationship. 

Diamonds

To see diamonds in your dream, signifies the wholeness of the Self. You may be finding clarity in matters that have been clouding you. Alternatively, it represents vanity, conceit, and your unchanging or unyielding nature. You may be distancing yourself from others. 

To receive diamond jewelry in your dream, signifies love. If you lose the diamond jewelry, then it indicates a lost in money or difficulty in your love relationship.

Do you feel like you're distancing yourself from some feminine figure in your life?

Thank you SnakeDoctor and Xanth. Xanth, I don't recognise that I am distancing myself from a feminine figure. But the first sentence of the spider explanation is somewhat familiar for me because I feel so different from the other people around me. And I hope the first sentence of the diamond story will come true, because I keep asking for clarity about a certain issue. So thanks for the answer and the link, I already had been looking for a dreamdictionary but I couldn't find a good Dutch one.
