It is precisely this dream image which symbolizes the necessity of a particularly intimate mental union.

The significance of sexuality was given by different races at different times, and the nature of sexual activity both have symbolic meaning. The individual sexual symbols bear witness to this.  These inform the unconscious of the fact that sex possesses not only a physical function but also a psychic function, that of creativity.  Sexual activity in a dream needs on no account to be interpreted sexually.  With these images, the dream is indicating the need for a more intimate,  intensive or more complete relationship with someone who has been neglected in conscious life.  This holds particularly true for incest dreams, i.e., dreams of sexual union with children or patents.

In the German language, slippers are a proverbial symbol of female domination. The Pantoffelheld (slipper hero) or henpecked husband is dominated by his wife.  The slipper has here also a secondary, sexual significance; sexual dependency is of course often the case.  An estreme case is that of the shoe-fetishist.  For him, shoes have the significance of substitute objects for the female genitals.  The sexually aggressive woman by whom the masochist longs to be dominated is symbolized by women's boots or shoes with pointed heels.

Spiders in a dream are a serious danger signal  This significance arises from the image of spiders catching victims in their webs.  Webs are popularly linked with 'webs of intrigue'.  This can mean female intrigues aimed at ensnaring men, and refers to the cold, calculating nature evident in some women.

Extremely abundant vegetation develops in a swamp, but it is very dangerous for the inexperienced traveler attempting to get through it. The dream frequently uses the image of a swamp to describe an oll-too abundantly flourishing imagination.  in the case of younger people, this must also be seen as an indication of sexual fantasies.  Not everyone possesses the strength of that famous liar Baron Munchhausen, who pulled himself out of a swamp by his pigtail.  It is therefore advisable to interpret the image of a swamp as a warning signal.
