Solitary spider
A single spider on its own web — patient builder working alone on a small precise net.
A solitary spider in a dream is the dream's image of a patient builder working alone on a small precise net. The spider does not advertise; the web waits, and the spider waits with it. The dream brings the solitary spider when something in your life — a private project, a personal practice, a quiet trap you have set for an opportunity — is currently complete and is now in the waiting phase. A web with a fly caught in it is the dream affirming that the patient design has worked. A web torn through by a passing animal that did not even notice it is the dream noting that the small careful structure was real and the rest of the world has its own size, and the work must be done again.
