I am so happy and grateful to read your personal story, Dreaming Peace! I have finally met someone with Spider Night Terrors that plagued me from Infancy until I was around 23! I had this boyfriend who after yet another night being awakened by a screaming and thrashing utterly inconsolable girlfriend said in an exasparated voice, "Next time you see the spider and that man... Make your arm a sword and run it through all the while thinking good thoughts and saying you go away!..." When he said this, it made so much sense and the next night I somehow remembered to do this in my dream/waking in between time and never had another spider night terror.... At the time I believed that the man and spider were real... They would actually hang in the air for just a few moments in the in between states of sleep and awakening... I wonder if this was a traumatic past life experience?
