Tarantula
A tarantula — large, hairy, venomous — often touches enemies about to overwhelm you with loss, with success after ill-luck if you kill one. The dream may ask where a frightening, predatory threat is closing in, and whether you can summon the nerve to confront and crush it, since defeating the menace tends to clear the way to fortune.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tarantula, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a tarantula in your dream, signifies enemies are about to overwhelm you with loss. To kill one, denotes you will be successful after much ill-luck.
