Dream Log: January 30, 2000

At 3AM, after an evening of moderate-to-heavy beer-drinking, smoking, and gaming, I bed down on my host's futon. At about 9AM, I awake from a dream where my host and I are playing nude Steamroller. (Refer also to dream log: January 7, 2000.) Now, an isolated homoerotic dream wouldn't raise any concern, but 2 memorable dreams with homoerotic elements, within a few weeks, makes me wonder what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

I have a horrible fear of spiders. I awoke at 4AM in the morning a cold sweat from my last dream. It was darkness, but with an illuminated huge microscope slide in the center, with a small hedge filled with spiders below. The spiders would crawl up the slide, a hand holding a needle would come out of nowhere, very quickly, and puncture the spider, smearing it's blood on the slide. Then the spider would slowly fall down the slide, or stick for awhile, and then drop. Repeat. I'm not sure what awoke my fear, or what the meaning of the slide and repeated arachnid slaughter was for either...
