Bazaar

A covered market of small stalls — many sellers, many smells, every transaction negotiated.

A bazaar in a dream is the dream's image of a covered market where every transaction is negotiated and nothing comes with a fixed price. The bazaar is loud, layered, and personal; the deal is made between two human beings looking at each other. The dream brings the bazaar when something in your life — a piece of work being valued, a relationship being defined, a social exchange — is currently being conducted in a register where everything is up for negotiation. A bazaar walked through with the right stamina is the dream affirming the lively market. A bazaar entered without the patience for haggling, with the first price accepted, is the dream noting that the place was misread, and the full cost of not negotiating is being paid silently.
