My Auction Dream

[nightflick]

This all happened several years ago when I was making plans the night before a Saturday, and in those days for me that meant auction day. I was a budding dealer in antiques and collectibles, although I was young, and hoping to learn prices as I bid on possible items to resale. I read the newspaper and found three possible auctions to go to after considering the list of items for sale and the location of the auction sites. I wasn't sure but decided to plan on the one sounding most interesting and I went to bed. But during the night I had this dream about one of the auctions, and it was not the one I had planned to attend. The dream was about my second choice auction, and in the dream it looked better than I thought and so in the morning I changed my plans and went to my second choice auction instead. When I got there it did look better than the list of contents and there for the first time I bought a whole large set of antique china, with a back mark that I had never before seen. I sold it over the next several months piece by piece, and made a good profit, yes, but I learned things from selling it that were better than the money. I listened to my dreams this time and it worked out right for me! Today, I am a small dealer who sets things out to sell in my booth at an antique mall, and I still try to listen to my dreams when I have them.
