What do giant spiders represent in dreams?

It sounds like there is a problem in your life that you don't want to deal with, the problem is still there and it is following you around until you are ready to turn around and face it...from the looks of this, when you jumped over the fence to get away from it, it seems like you are trying to put a wall between you and the problem represented by the spider. All this is taking place around your house, so the problem is "close to home".
