The venomous critter trying to strike me last night was a spider. It looked similar to this beast:
Pesky vermon just waiting to eat me alive!!
Before that terror, I dreamt a group of various insects (several that I couldn't identify) were trying to bore holes into my body. And even prior to that, I awoke in fear that a snake was trying to strike me.
Anyone wish to interpret these dreams for me? Or do I even want to know what they mean?
I'm trying to make sense of all of this instead of being afraid to enter slumber then suffer with insomnia. And so I don't go crazy spraying myself with pest control products.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few explanations (that I am telling myself, so far) on why I'm bugged-out:
1. I've seen the film "Men in Black" way too many times. I have always found it funny when Will Smith steps on the cockroaches at the end of the movie. Perhaps my laughter caught up with me and the bugs are taking action against me.
2. Vivian sings "Shoo fly, don't bother me!" at least a dozen times in one day. Perhaps all her fun and games have caused me to dream about critters?
3. Kirk sprayed pesticides around the house a few weeks ago because we grew tired of screaming like deranged Spartan cheerleaders every time a roach crossed our path at 6:30 a.m. Now the revenge on us has begun!
4. Two nights ago a horse-fly snuck its way into our home just after 9 p.m. as we let our dog Bono out to do his business one last time before bedtime. This blood-sucking pest began zipping its way around our living room and kitchen. Then it buzzed past my ear before landing on our ceiling. Together you should have seen Kirk and I work as a team to kill this beast!! Our faces were like killers on the war path. I positioned myself to look similar to this:
Me practicing my Kung-fu on a few bugs I wish to kill!
After Kirk knocked it down with a magazine while standing on a bar stool, I used my ninja moves to squash him to death. Victory! We conquered. But now the bugs are conquering me in my dreams?!
5. I was once infatuated with the Bugs Bunny cartoon character. So somehow my brain is now confusing the friendly bunny with bugs of all sorts! (Also, I've been eating a lot of carrots lately too?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever the real reason is, I wish to be bug-free. Both in my home and in my once sweet dreams!
I hope that will be the end result for me very soon. I'm itching all over right now just writing this post and thinking about my nightmares....

What bugs or critters haunt you, whether in real life or in your dreams? Do you ever have nightmares like these?

I am haunted by bot flies. I learned a few months ago that they burrow into your skin, and then they crawl back out with all their babies. Gross. Now I freak out every time there is a weird bug on me or around me.
As for the dreams, I am going with the Shoo fly don't bother me reason. It really does seem to make the most sense.
Sort of.
I hope your dreams become more enjoyable soon!
I usually don't have nightmares, but I might now!!

This is where I go when my dreams feel like they might mean something: http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/
Not unlike horoscopes, it's pretty open to interpretation - but every now and then something makes sense...
Be thankful that you didn't open your eyes and actually see thousands of spiders. That's what happened to me when my ex and I were camping out in our hippie van, at a campsite in New Hampshire, many years ago. I was dreaming that a spider was about to land on my arm and when it did, it woke me up. I grabbed the flashlight and saw thousands of spiders on the ceiling of the van. We drove like crazy to a motel 40 miles away. The next day, they were gone. Sweet dreams. cher!
EW -- that spider picture is TERRYIFYING!!!!!! I hate bugs (ESP. spiders) so much. I almost got into a car accident once because I noticed a spider on the dash in front of me as I was driving. *shudders*
According to one dream website:
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.
There seems to be many interpretations. ;)
When I was younger, my sister and I used to have sleepovers on the floor in the living room. One night, I woke up to the weirdest sensation and sound in my ear. It was horrible...something out of a sci fi movie. I kept shaking my head and all I heard was a "swish, swoosh" sound. I started to panic a little because the sound was so loud. I stuck my finger in my ear and out came an ant.
I will never forget what that felt or sounded like. I like most bugs but not spiders, roaches or ants or flies.
You need to find a dream interpretation site. I sure won't try to guess on that one!
Eek! Spiders!
Hope those nightmares stop soon. Hey, maybe you should start dreaming about Kirk in a Spiderman costume. A little fantasy may help you rest :)
