Bad dream? : It sounds like he was really scared? Assuming you don't really have a spider problem, this was probably a nightmare. These usually occur in the second half of the night, in younger school age children. They immediately console and are afraid when you come into the room. (Night terrors occur in the first part of the evening in toddlers who are confused and combative, difficult to console).
