There's this humanoid figure that's constantly present in my dreams.

In them, it's always beneath turned off street lights or beneath turned off light spots, so that I can either only see its vague shape or sometimes just their presence. But it's not aggressive, it's never done anything harmful itself, it just stays there watching me from afar, though it causes fear in my dream self. However, I've noticed a pattern in dreams/nightmares it's present: they all take place at night, and as the dream progresses more and more street lights/home lights get turned off, which by definition "expands" the dominion of the monster (?). Sometimes, though rare, the dream will start lively and in bright daylight and then suddenly switch to the usual eerie night scenario.

Though not directly correlated, in a lot of those dreams something violent will happen, for example: getting robbed and shot at, escaping a school shooting, watching a gory street accident happen right in front of me, or at the very least, walk alone through dangerous streets on my way home.

The creature has the consistent shape of a very tall thin human, sorta like slenderman or SCP-096, but again it's a neutral stalker that's never done anything bad.

I was cleaning my garden plants from scale insects (with water + detergent) and saw this poor lady (?) running away for its life. I tried rescuing her with this card box but unfortunately she died in this position it's shown in the first photos (last 3 pairs of legs curled together and the first pair of legs stretched out to the air). I never saw this kind of spider before, so I kept her body in a tiny container with a lid, in case more photos are necessary. I bought an amateur pocket microscope (x120) a while back so I took some pictures of her eyes under it, legs and a strange pattern in her abdomen: it's full of "scales"? and very hairy. I thought she was a brown widow at first, but I couldn't find the distinct red/orange hourglass below her. Also she appears to have a brown-ish line all across the top of her opisthosoma. I think she has tiny bottom eyes, but I couldn't get much of better photos.

Also can someone help me: I really really REALLY love spiders but I can't let the scale insects infest my plants, however when I try killing them with spray it ends up damaging my sweet 8 legged friends as well :(
