    "have you ever talked to a fly?"

    - Sted

    Related, but unrelated...

    About 20 years ago I was drifting off to sleep in bed and I felt a house spider crawl over my face - causing me to open my eyes and emerge from my slumber. I watched it scuttle along my duvet and then stand on my bedside table.

    I had an empty glass there; not wanting to be roused again, I put the glass over the spider until morning.

    I went back to sleep, but I dreamed intensly and vividly about that spider pleading with me from that glass to free it.

    As the dream went on, it told me it was short of air, and desperately needed to be released

    When I woke up the next morning it was facing me, and on the ceiling of the upturned glass there were speckles of condensation. Just as I had seen it in my dream.

    I lifted the glass and the spider seemed to wave one leg in acknowledgement, and then it scuttled off.
