And wait she does, with patience and with certainty that all she needs will come to her at the right moment.

No one can tell when food will get caught in the web the spider must wait. If you knock a web down, it is likely a spider will rebuild overnight they are determined. Further, spiders are associated with patience, bravery, and determination. Women, inherently, possess immense power of creation thanks to our wombs, so this makes sense. Because of their ability to create intricate and beautiful webs, they are often associated with creation (via The Mind Fool). If this makes you balk because you can't imagine how that creepy, crawly thing in the corner of your room could possibly be associated with all the beauty and power of the divine feminine, we get it but hear us out for a second. Perhaps most interestingly, even though we so often associate spiders with negative meanings, in many cultures throughout history, the spider has been a symbol of feminine power. Cob webs, which are abandoned spider webs, mean that you are intent on moving forward in your life, leaving old dreams, old plans, old homes behind. If you see a funnel web, it could mean that you are entering onto a path at the end of which will be a problem you will be forced to encounter (just like a spider awaits at the end of a funnel web). If you see a "sheet" web, which is the sort that looks simply like straight fibers stretching from one point to another, it may represent your need for clear and direct communication in a given situation or between yourself and another party.


It can also mean that events in your life are happening quickly (this type of web, as intricate as it is, is often built overnight). If you see this type of web in your dream, then creativity is likely to be the meaning. What we often imagine (or see in dreams) is called an "orb" web, the type you see stretched between trees in the woods that look like perfect, silken dreamcatchers glistening in the sun. Spider webs come in a few different forms (via Aunty Flo).
