Merchant
A trader of goods — a person whose work is the moving of value from one place to another at a margin.
A merchant in a dream is the dream's image of a trader whose work is the moving of value from one place to another at a margin. The merchant produces little; the merchant moves. The dream brings the merchant when something in your life — a piece of brokering, an intermediary role, a transaction in which you are neither the source nor the end use — is currently being lived in that register. A merchant trading at a fair margin is the dream affirming the honesty of the work. A merchant taking too much in the middle is the dream noting that the margin has overgrown the service, and the trade is now extractive rather than connective.
