The Spider Dream.

(I have an extreme and irrational fear of spiders)

I am in my living room, near the door to the kitchen, looking at the entire room from the corner. There are large and thick strings hanging in loops from the ceiling. They start at the ceiling, go down, loop back up and touch the ceiling again, and they vary in height. There are about four of these complete loops. And there is an enormous spider (maybe about 7 inches long) crawling on the ceiling, wall and strings. It isn't too terrifying, but it has black stripes, a green-tinted white body, and a yellow-tinted white head. It appears to take a spiders shape, with the legs bent backward like the ones from the appropriately-titled movie, Arachnophobia.The dream conspires to make this spider seem 100 times more petrifying to me than it actually is, and i scream and huddle in the corner. As i watch the creature, it seems to be clearing up the strings at teleportation speed, making them disappear, and reduces the number of loops to only one. Upon closer inspection and the random appearance of a chart describing the creature, i realize it's just a large moth, that doesn't look much like a spider at all.
