I spent almost all of last night picking through old used books, jewelry, and trinkets at a dreaming space flea market last night. I absolutely LOVE to go to flea markets in waking life, just picking through people's old treasures to find new ones for myself. So, I suppose my subconsciousness just felt like going shopping a bit last night.
Nothing else special about it, save for I met two lovely smiling African-American men at the dreaming market. Apparently we knew each other from somewhere before, because were all happy to see each other and big tight hugs went around. I was happy to see them because they had such big smiles, and it lifted my heart, but I didn't recognize them as people from waking life that I knew.
It did occur to me that I often do this in dreaming, just picking through people's old trinkets and jewelry, just amazed by the sparkling jewels and titles of books. I get lost in it and forget my lucidity, if I had any to begin with. Maybe it's a trap.

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.

All things that flow and grow were regarded in early religions as a symbol
of life: fire represented the vital craving for nourishment, water was chosen for its
fertilizing powers, plants because of their verdure in spring-time. Now, all—or
very nearly all—symbols of life are also symbolic of death. Media vita in morte
sumus, observed the mediaeval monk, to which modern science has replied La vie
c’est la mort (Claude Bernard). Thus, fire is the destroyer, while water in its
various forms signifies dissolution, as suggested in the Psalms. In legend and
