Not exactly seven, but you do swallow spiders on occasion while you sleep.
Here's how it happens: On occasion, your mouth opens while you sleep. Certain types of spiders (wolf spiders, for one) catch their prey by hunting rather than sitting around in a web waiting. These spiders will occasionally run into your mouth. When you feel this your mouth closes and eventually swallows the little bugger! Gross!
If you don't believe me, purchase a mouse glue board and place it in your bedroom. Keep it there for a year (you'll have to change it if the glue hardens). Count the spiders. That will give you some relative information on how active the spiders are in your bedroom.
If you want to prevent the spiders from getting into your mouth, place lots of these traps around your house...you'll hang up most of the spiders.
Goodnight!

No. decrease back in 1993 a woman named Lisa Holst who worked with pc specialist revealed a piece of writing about how human beings were believing idiotic "data" and "statistics" circulating in e-mails some time previous on the sunrise of the internet. She presented up a listing of made-up data to tutor her element. this kind of replaced into that folk swallow 8 spiders a 365 days even as sound asleep. She took it out of a e book revealed in 1954 that proved the parable replaced into fake. actual to style the internet ran with that, yet forgot she replaced into being ridiculous on purpose.

As far as I know, I have never swalllowed a spider. Like most people, I breathe through my nose unless I have a cold. How did you come up with this idea?

This sounds like some really lame urban-legend.
Look at Snopes.com and see if its listed.
