Well, I don't often remember my dreams or find them very important, but I just had a very vivid dream that was weird enough to take note of. So I decided I should write it down while it is still fresh in my mind and maybe someone will be able to help interpret it.

Anyway, in the dream I was at one of my jobs, the same job I had yesterday and there was some activity happening, like a party or something. Only it was kind of strange because as well as the Japanese students I normally teach (not just at that place, but my favourite kids from all my jobs) there were a few other random people from my past that attended, primarily people from my school for grade 7-10 (including the girl who was top of the grade).

So it kind of went on with people arriving and one of the people had been telling the people the wrong time or something so everyone was arriving late. But eventually the party or class or whatever got underway. Only the kids were miss behaving awfully, I kept telling them to move back to make a big circle (as is habit for when we are about to do an activity) but whenever my back was turned, different kids would keep on moving in closer and breaking the circle or making it smaller around me (I was in the middle).

There was also a part involving a small bag of potato chips, I can't remember exactly how that went, but each chip in the bag was a different flavour or something and it was being shared around, but then when I was getting stressed from the kids not listening to me I ate a whole heap from the bag.

So it continued and the kids were being worse and worse, so in the end I yelled at them as loud as I could, which kind of hurt my voice. After that I felt really bad, so I went and asked my boss if I could have a break for a few minutes just because it was getting too much and I didn't want to be angry with the kids. I was kind of pissed off at the school (much like real life) because I wasn't allowed to use Japanese to tell the kids what to do and they didn't listen to my English, but the Japanese staff that are paid to help out and explain things to the kids weren't helping me at all.

So anyway, I went outside to take a break and this is where the strangest bit happens. I was walking by the side of the school when I saw a large spider (maybe the size of my palm but not fingers, including its legs) and it was sitting on a web. Also on the web however was this circular patch of green foamy spider eggs (although I think they looked more like Praying Mantis eggs) which has a kind of small leafy wall around them. The spider was just sitting there and I was kind of admiring it, before I went to get one of the Japanese staff who told me that it was a rare kind of Japanese spider.

I then saw another spider over near the house crawling along the wall and I watched it walking around. As I watched, it crawled over to near when I was standing and it climbed up onto the web with the other spider. I was a bit worried that the first would eat the new one, but the new spider just crawled on top of the other one, kind of doggy-style and they started 'mating' I guess, with new eggs coming out of the back of the spider, although the eggs were orange until they were fertilised by the male on the female's back.

Then a kid came outside, I think I recognised the kid, but I can't remember now, so I showed him the spider, because it looked so cool. He reached out and grabbed both spiders and I was worried that he'd be bitten, but then he put one in his mouth and ate it. I was a little shocked, but for some reason what was even more shocking was what he did next when he ate the spider's foamy eggs immediately afterwards and seemed to think that it was really good tasting. I think I just had a chance to tell him he shouldn't eat stuff like that when I woke up.

Anyway, that is my dream, it was pretty messed up, but possibly it is trying to tell me something, so if you can help me interpret it, I would be most appreciative.



Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
