A Spider And His Pal Are Crushed

I'm starting to feel quite bad for all of these spiders appearing in my dreams. Last night as I'm in between sleep and alertness (due to the Air Conditioning having gone out), I managed to slip into a dream. 2 large spiders that were ALMOST tarantula sized popped out on nowhere on to my floor. They were a light brownish and their legs were longer than most spiders I've seen. Of course I did my best to avoid them as I hate arachnids, but I knew that I'd have to kill them to avoid possible eggs being dropped.

I found a lone shoe and proceeded to swat these little bastards into oblivion. Of course they put up a fight, but after 4-5 whacks on the first to render it squashed, I was able to move on to the second that was now retreating. 1 smack of the shoe debilitated spider number 2, and I awoke immediately...but not before feeling bad, as many people prefer to keep tarantulas as pets. I remember being upset that I didn't save them in a jar for somebody to place in captivity, but what are you supposed to do when you fear something so much?
