Giant Spider in the Bathroom

Private vulnerability meets entanglement fear — issue shrinks when contained.

The dream scene

I open the bathroom door. A spider fills the tub, legs on the tiles. I slam the door. Through the crack I see it shrinking to normal size.

Mood: Disgust, relief

Bathrooms are **exposure and cleansing** zones. Spider amplifies disgust or trappedness — gossip, shame, task web you avoid.

Shrinking after door close — boundary contains threat; problem may feel smaller when you stop staring.
