In this month’s column, Pamela interprets a reader’s dream with the symbols of spiders, chicken, pork, anaconda, and motorcycle. What could this dream possibly mean?   

Dream

All my dreams always have two parts. In the first dream I was walking with someone, but I could never see their face. We were buying something to eat and everywhere we went it said “chicken and pork,” yet nobody had chicken, just pork. For some reason I had to go wash my hands from the elbow to my fingers. Then the second dream turned into a hunt for an anaconda. Although I wasn’t doing the hunting and I wasn’t being hunted, but I was in the middle of it. Once the hunter put the anaconda to sleep, I wasn’t hunting spiders, instead I was walking through a pit of spiders. The first one I saw was a big spider with some small ones around and on top of it. Someone told me don’t go near it because they bite. So I kept walking. The second set of spiders I saw, had one big black spider with two smaller ones, one of them had their front half of their two legs painted bright red, and they were waving their front legs. Then I was on a motorcycle driving away while singing my favorite song. What do you think it means?

Interpretation

I love this dream as it’s a great example of how complex our dreams are! Also, it demonstrates how searching for the meanings of these many symbols in a dream dictionary, won’t give you a clear interpretation. Although the reader didn’t mention his feelings, which would alter a dream into different meanings, I will do my best to interpret it.

First of all, I’d like to point out that it is common for the dreamer to have two or more scenes in a single session of dreaming. Though it seems the dream scenes are unrelated, often there is a common theme to interlace the dream interpretation.

In the first scene where he is walking around with a person looking for something to eat could have two meanings. The first is there is a person in his life he truly doesn’t know; however, he is searching to know who they truly are. Secondly, he is looking for something to fill his soul. Intuitively, the latter meaning feels right to me.

Using the second meaning with the desire to eat chicken and pork, yet only finding pork, may be symbolic for while the dreamer is discovering for his meaning, he needs to bypass the urge to become “chicken” to stop his search. Instead, he need to be “porky” to fill himself up with his soul direction in this lifetime.

Washing your hand from elbow to fingers reminded me of a religious practice; therefore, I Googled it to discover it is a tradition in both Judaism and Islamism. When you perform this action, you are cleansing yourself before you begin your spiritual practice.

There could be multiple dream meanings in the second scene of your dream; nonetheless, I’ve been guided to go along the same spiritual theme. In the second dream where you weren’t hunting with the hunter is showing you that you do not have to be aggressive with your search for spiritual advancement.  Although your transformation has been asleep, this is shown by the anaconda being put to sleep by the hunter.

A part of you, during this dream journey with the anaconda and spider, doesn’t want to hunt for self, yet you have no choice but to continue. Spiders in your dream symbolize you walking through all your small and large fears, as well as obstacles. However, there are times you need to avoid a certain situation, hence the warning not to go near them to avert being “bitten.”

When the spider with red front legs and other spiders wave their front legs, they are “waving” you on to continue weaving your journey, while staying grounded to the earth and being who you truly are. If you do this, your journey (as shown on the motorcycle) will become smoother, speeding up your progress, and being much happier enabling to sing upon your life’s path.

In a nutshell, your dream is a spiritual message to stay on your personal growth path to discover who you truly are, so that you may grow into your highest spiritual self! Awesome! Remember, God, your angels, and guides will always be with you during your journey.
