I'm not going to go over to snopes.com to check, but from what I read;
Spiders, like most small animals, flee from carbon dioxide because they know they are about to get eated when they sense it. Therefore, a spider would not just walk into your mouth, which means 1. The spider would have to fall from the exact spot on your ceiling that would cause it to land in your mouth and 2. You would have to be sleeping on your back with your mouth open at that time for this to happen. Since your mouth probably only takes up about an eighth of your face or so, for every spider that lands in your mouth, 7 would land somewhere else on your face. You could be breeding spiders in your room and I don't think this could happen. Come to think of it, I've never even seen a spider on the ceiling. They always crawl up the wall to the ceiling and then just stop and make their little tube webs that they live in. So yeah, myth busted.
