Can Anyone Help Me Decipher My Dream ? [Spirituality & Religion]

I had a long nap earlier today and I had 2 dreams. This first one is the one I really need help understanding though. Here's how it went.

I'm at home, I'm in the kitchen and I reach across to grab something. My hands get caught in some webs and I just wash it off. Then soon I'm in my living room, I first notice a brownish spider, it's not extremely large but bigger than what I would ever find in my home, very soon a black spider comes along, it starts to violently attack the brown one and corners it, I remember just standing and watching them fight. I wasn't afraid of the spiders, but I remember at one point of the fight, the black spider became larger and nearly killed the brown spider. In the next part, I'm upstairs and I'm about to take a shower, I went to get a towel and when I turned around, I saw the black spider. I normally hang my towels near the stairs and the spider was just sitting on the rails of the stairs. Only this time, the spider wasn't just a small black spider, it was much much larger, it was the size of half an adult and it had the body of a monkey, it was black all the way and it's legs were stretched across the rails. Imagine a long lean black monkey with spider legs growing out from its sides, that was what I saw. Even at that point, I wasn't scared, I was just nonchalant about it and in my dream I remember choosing to ignore it. So I went to the bathroom where I was going to shower and suddenly the spider-monkey creature jumped and attacked me. It was horrifying, I was running away from it and I ran all over the house. The spider thing could somehow burrow into the ground and it was violently attacking me, it kept leaping out of the floor and nipping my toes, it tried to keep scratching me and I was downright terrified. I was scared because there were holes everywhere and it was moving very fast. I was backed into my bedroom where I couldnt run anymore. I screamed for help and I caught a glimpse of my mother, she shut the door on me. My room has two doors leading into it and there was still one door left open, I saw the creature jump and I shut the door, I barely made it in time and some of its legs were in the door. I was pushing and pushing against the door but the creature was strong, suddenly, it disappeared. I was scared again because I was scared it would go after my parents, and so I jumped on top of my bed to prepare in case it jumped out of the ground again. I was holding my pillow as a weapon and it came out of the ground, I fought with it using my pillow and the entire time I felt weak, my pillow was doing nothing against the creature and I felt helpless, the fight resumed for a while more while I ran around some more and hit it with my pillow some more, until finally I get the creature, I somehow managed to push it to the ground and I sat on it, I pressed my pillow into it and tried to suffocate it. I was sitting on its chest and I could feel it, it's heart was beating and it felt very very human, it was like killing another person. I sat on the creature for a few minutes because it's chest was still moving. When it was close to dying, I suddenly felt this huge sense of dread, my chest was hurting and it was like someone was ripping my chest open. Something suddenly screamed " YOU NEED TO GET OFF NOW ", I remember feeling this weird feeling that if I didn't get off the creature, I would get possessed, it was like my heart was losing itself and I felt this really malignant force around me. I quickly got off and I never got to confirm whether the creature had died. In the next part, the creatures body is in a plastic bag, I put it outside of my house right in front of the gates. In a way I felt relieved and right before the dream ended I told my mom to make sure she shut the door, because deep inside, I had this feeling that the creature will be coming back again.

I woke up with my heart thudding like crazy and for a flash I thought I saw an image, it was like the back of a being, it's back was turned away from me and it closely resembled what I would assume the devil looked like, it has the horns and it was just pure darkness around it. Needless to say I was scared and I was in a half-sleep state. My mind was conscious that I was awake but my body was still sleeping. No matter how I tried, my body felt like it wasn't even working and my head was throbbing, I was feeling super sluggish and I went back to sleep after.

That's when I had my second dream, this time it was even weirder, it was like I was dreaming but not really, in this dream, I was thinking about the creature, I saw images of it overtaking my life, it was hiding in the dark, looking at me in the shadows, and I went and google what the creature was but I never found it, and moments before I woke up again, I suddenly had this thought " Ask Similiar Worlds ".

And that's why I'm here, at first I was just a little freaked out after the second part of my dream but since then I couldn't stop thinking about it, now I'm driving myself insane because I keep thinking that I see this creature everywhere. Earlier I was wearing earphones while listening to a song, and all of a sudden I heard some sounds that never existed in the song and I don't think I ever ripped something out of my ears so fast, I pulled it out so fast my ears hurt and I ran so fast into some bright place. My mind is playing tricks on me and I'm starting to lose it, I was going to go to sleep soon but then I suddenly heard some sounds from the ceiling, like someone was sliding things across it. What's worse is that I can't get the image of that creature out of my mind, I'm starting to see it lurking in the corner of my room, hanging from the ceiling and I'm really really scared right now.

I was hoping that someone here could help me understand what's going on and help me understand so I can go to sleep without fear.

Please please please help me.

It sounds like you have something you're deeply afraid of, but willfully ignoring it. This thing, the spider, the fear, is so big that it comes at you from seemingly nowhere, but you know what the issue is. Maybe it causes you some kind of distress, but not acknowledging it may well kill you if you try to smoother it. You must face this...spider-fear thing, and in doing so, you'll be able to exorcise its control over you.

When you wake up and can't move like that, it's called sleep paralysis and it happens to me quite a lot. You can get kind of stuck halfway between asleep and awake and have pretty scary and intense hallucinations. The second part of your dream may have been that.
