Terror in a Teacup

Dreamed today, right before waking, that I had a cup of ginger tea sitting by my bed as I fell asleep. (I dream a lot that I'm sleeping) And at some point, something fairly large & alive fell into the teacup & was making a racket trying to get out. My sleepy dream self opened up the nightstand drawer & put the rattling teacup in the drawer, closed it & went back to sleep. When my dreamself woke up, I removed the teacup from the drawer & I was headed to the bathroom to toss the contents into the toilet, but the cup was shaking too much & I saw multiple legs in there, so I dumped it unceremoniously on the floor, only to watch a huge spider emerge. It was big & hairy, with a wide cream-colored stripe down the center of its body. My dreamself freaked & threw the teacup at it, and the spider attacked the teacup before running after me again. I woke up in the process of watching me dance around the spider. I think worrying about my bare feet woke me up.

I also dreamed I was trying to cover a window w/a mylar balloon, sort of a colorful alternative to aluminum foil.
