Rainbow,
Just a feeling here but have you thought that the spider was her totem? You can find the definition for this through a search under Spider totem or you can read Animal Speak to get more info. Just a feeling here but I don't feel that the spider was a bad thing. I know spiders can send the creeps though us but open yourself to the totem possibilty and you may find something more here.
Love and light,
Tracey
