A new spirit appears

Quick refresher: spirits show up in my dreams. For the last 10 years, these spirits have included a friend from my late teenage years named Raven. In these dreams, she hasn’t acted like herself. She has also exhibited powers she didn’t have in my time knowing her and has been in improbable situations. In these dreams she has given good and pertinent advice and has taught me things.

A few nights ago, she revealed to me that I was not in fact dreaming about Raven. This didn’t really surprise me as I’ve suspected this for a while. She showed me another face of hers and told me that her name is (The) Spider. I think I’m in love. Not in a “I want to date/have sex with this person” type of way. More in a mentorship way.

She appeared in this dream as a tall, lean, pale woman with very straight black hair and pale eyes. She has sharp features and wears a grey and black suit. Her shoes are black, shiny leather with pointy toes and a small, chunky heel. When she wears her hair in a bun, she uses silver hair fasteners. Despite being a very cheerful person, her normal expression can be described as severe.

I associate her with a large grey tarantula. Which is kind of unnerving as I’m not a huge fan of most large spiders. She’s told me that she’s a royal spy master. Which feels like something I should be concerned about but I’m not. A lot about her is odd and contradictory. The strongest sensory memory I have of her is her laugh.
