I was dreaming some sort of "normal life" dream, but most details escape me. I do, however, remember dreaming that I was cold. I took a shower and put warm clothes on trying to warm up, but I was still cold. At this point I woke up, realized I was sleeping without a blanket and no shirt or socks on, with the window open on a night that turned from warm to cool. Grabbing a blanket in my waking state did far more good than the shower I took, which must have confusingly cold as I continued shivering in reality. I do remember dreaming that the sales of my restaurant the prior day were a slow $5200, which wasn't far from the actual number of $6100 on a day expecting $8-9000.
In Bachelard’s opinion, supported by literary analysis, cold corresponds symbolically to being in the situation of, or longing for, solitude or exaltation. Nietzsche, in his Human, All Too Human, makes a call for ‘the cold, wild
Alpine lands scarce warmed by the Autumn sun and loveless’. ‘Thanks to the
cold, the air gains in attacking virtues, it becomes spiritualized and dehumanized.
In the frozen atmosphere, at higher altitudes, one finds another Nietzschean
quality: silence’ (1).

Night is related to the passive principle, the feminine and the unconscious. Hesiod gave it the name of ‘mother of the gods’, for the Greeks believed
that night and darkness preceded the creation of all things (8). Hence, night—like
water—is expressive of fertility, potentiality and germination (17); for it is an
anticipatory state in that, though not yet day, it is the promise of daylight. Within
the tradition of symbology it has the same significance as death and the colour
black.
