Web dream meaning is explained below using 16 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Theresa Cheung

If the image of a spider’s web appears in your dream, it can represent a sticky situation in which you have found yourself, feeling caught up in something that might trap you or being trapped by the power of someone else’s emotions or expectations. It can also imply a web of lies, as well as the connections linking you with other people, events and the world. You might find this link to be supportive or threatening.

Another interpretation associates the web with the circle of life and the symbol of the Mandala; the center of the web suggests a merging back into the primal energy of life. Spider’s webs in a dusty house suggest a need to spring clean, or deal with old memories and the past. Sometimes the web made by a spider is a cocoon, and so is protective. Often this relates to very delicate processes of change going on in us, perhaps ones which need us to be a little withdrawn or protected from the world in order for the process to work out and mature.

If your dreaming self walked into a room obscured by cobwebs, ask yourself how that pertains to you. Have you been withdrawing from life recently and is it time to blow away the cobwebs and become more active again?

Interpretation 2 — Pamela Ball

1- In everyday life, we may well be caught up in a situation that could trap us. We could be in a ‘sticky’ situation and not quite know which direction to move. This can result in the symbol of a web appearing in the dream. We are ‘caught in the middle’ or we are trapped. Because the situation is extremely complex we have no idea which way is going to be most advantageous for us.

2- When we dream of a web we arc linking into one of the most basic of spiritual symbols.

It is within the ‘web of life’ that the divine powers have interwoven fate and time in order to create a reality in which we can exist. We are the spiritual entrapped within the physical and not able to escapc back to our own spiritual realm.

3- The spider’s web is the Cosmic Plan.

Interpretation 5 — Versatile - Anonymous

Psychological / emotional perspective: When we dream of a web we are linking into one of the most basic of spiritual symbols. Interestingly in today’s technological age it will also symbolize a network of communication as in the world wide web on the internet. In dreams this ‘web’ can stand for our own personal group of friends and acquaintances.

Interpretation 6 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver

Dreaming about being caught in a web is likely a straightforward representation of some sticky situation we feel caught in, or that we might get caught in. We also talk about a “web of lies” or “a tangled web.” In the contemporary world, dreaming about a spider web might be a symbolic way of referring to the Internet—the “worldwide web.”

Interpretation 7 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous

Dreams of a web are synonymous with joining forces, networking, and weaving your higher wisdom into real life.

A web can also represent seduction, getting caught, and tangled in a web of lies. Perhaps you are in a sticky situation from which you want to escape, or you are attempting to lure someone in to your embrace.
