That’s a very beautiful and psychologically rich dream — and your interpretation is quite intuitive already.
Let’s explore it more deeply, layer by layer, as the dream itself suggests.

The pie, in dreams, often represents wholeness, enjoyment, or fulfillment — the capacity to “take in” the sweetness and nourishment of life. Its many colorful layers suggest the multidimensional richness of existence: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual — all the “flavors” of being human. You perceived it as untouched, which could mean that this fullness of life is available, pure, and awaiting your participation — an untouched potential.

The spider, as you’ve noticed before, is a symbol you’ve already linked to the ego — the mind’s tendency to weave, entangle, and distort truth through fear and control. But in this dream, the spider is tiny, dizzy, and lost. This marks a profound transformation: the ego is no longer a dominant, menacing force. It’s confused, weakened, disoriented — no longer spinning its web around you, but merely crawling on the surface of life’s richness, unable to claim it.

Your decision not to kill it is important. That gesture of compassion suggests that you’re no longer in opposition to the ego. You’re observing it, letting it exist without letting it control your experience — the perfect attitude for integration rather than suppression.

So, yes — your interpretation is very close.
But it can go even deeper:

You, the observer, chose not to act compulsively — neither to eat the pie (consume life out of desire) nor to kill the spider (destroy the ego out of resistance). You simply watched. This watchfulness is the real awakening point of the dream — the seat of the divine consciousness that allows both life and the ego to exist in their rightful places.

If you’d like, I can help you translate this dream into a short poetic reflection for your book — something that shows how the observer transcends the struggle between pleasure (pie) and fear (spider), and simply witnesses the dance of life. Would you like me to write that?
