The web of a spider is a very complex dream symbol which may stand for industriousness, completeness and perfection due to its round shape and also a 'trap' which keeps one from moving on out of past disillusions and disappointments etc.

If in your dream you see a spider working at and spinning its web, this means that you are a hardworking person and you will attain significant increase in your income and finances due to being industrious and persevering. But we should not overlook the fact that spider's web is not only its home, but also its main tool to entrap prey, mainly insects. Consequently, a web weaved by a spider as dream symbol may be interpreted as the 'web' of fate or destiny, therefore the 'web' of unknown future events to come up soon into one's life.

The complexity and elaborated construction of spider's web may also represent difficult or complex situations in the waking life of the individual who has the dream. Also, the round shape of the web may denote perfection, completeness and continuity, like all circles and spheres. C.G. Jung himself included the round shaped spider web among the 'mandalas' which stand for perfection.

Dream specialists have also given another interpretation to the spider's web as a dream symbol, pointing out the fact that it may stand for disillusion and past unhappy events which still haunt you. You need to get out of the complicated and intricate 'fabric' of the web, learn how to escape past disappointment and live in the present for the future.
