    This is going to sound like utter crap but I'm going to say it anyway... Since having kids, there have been occasions when the kids have got freaked out by a spider in the bathroom at bath time. I don't kill insects, so often I will trap them under a glass and then get back to the difficult task of wrestling two children through bath, teethbrushing, bedtime stories and finally bed.

    Often, by the time I've accomplished that I've forgotten about the spider under the glass. On those nights, I have really incredibly lucid dreams which always feature heavily on a dialogue or negotiation with a spider. The dreams are really incredibly intense and a little freaky. Its a bit like a Naked Lunch sort of vibe, and the spider is usually in a slightly threatening position, but engaging me in a negotiation.

    I'm not saying spiders are telepathic... its probably just my guilt floating up from my subconscious because I've left the poor bugger suffocating under a glass, but its happened so regularly that I have come to suspect, in less rational moments, that spiders might have some kind of a sixth sense.
