I had a dream where an oyster shell was sitting next to my grandfathers doorsteps. the shell would open and close showing a beautiful pearl inside turning in circles. It opened its shell at a time showing a red spider inside and the oyster was turning red where the spider was sitting. Somehow the oyster shell made its way to the side of the house into this 3 sided tank with a walk up at the beginning and it floated to the bottom opening its mouth and the spider came out and floated away. This white baby came out of nowhere and went in the tank went under water, grabbed the shell and placed it back where it was originally at--beside the steps and the baby walked away. I couldnt tell if the child was boy/girl, weather it had hair or nothing, but it had a pamper on. and the oyster just opened and closed its shell. PLs help me understand this PLS!!

Wow, what imagery!

I see many symbols here. First, what did you think of the red spider? Was it scary? Was it just interesting? How you feel about it may help with the interpretation.

With shells, what I get is the expression, "come out of your shell." It's like a protection. So, this thing that is like a red spider to you comes out of your being (not literally) and just floats away.

Babies often mean a new beginning or a new project, job, relationship, or atitude. This new thing (the baby) puts the protection (shell) back where it was. It was at your grandfather's steps. How do you think your grandfather may relate to this dream?
