Dream Journal

dreamed on June 7, 2001

I was at my friend Ryan’s house back in homer - except the layout of the house was more like grandmas. I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, where Ryan’s mom was drying dishes. I got the glass out of the cupboard, and thought that I should say at least hi to Ryan’s mom, but neither one of us said anything. I filled my glass with water, then another friend came in to do the same, but she couldn’t find the glasses. I directed her towards the correct cupboard.

She left, and I went over to the window to stand by Ryan’s mom, who then turned into my mom. I looked over at the opposite wall and saw a gigantic spider/insect on the wall. It was probably almost a foot long. It had huge plates on its back and head, and I asked mom if it was an armored bug. She said she thought so. I called into the living room to get someone to come kill it - Ryan and a few others were sitting on the couch and laughed because I was afraid of a bug.

Mom and I watched as it crawled slowly up the wall, then mom turned around and the bug started running down the wall and across the floor towards us, like it had sensed us looking at it. I yelled to mom to get it before it got us, so she grabbed a spoon and went after it. She missed with the spoon and the spider ran up and around her leg. She yelled to me to get it off of her. I grabbed a long silver baking spoon and tried to get it. I was on my knees and swatted at the floor once and felt the spider jump up at my face. I hit the floor a few more times in succession, and then mom pulled me up off of the floor. She told me that I had killed it the first try, and that it had an aneurysm. I told her that I had one as well and my heart was pounding in my chest.
