Janet, it's fascinating to delve into the narrative of your dream about the garage sale. This scenario, where your father is negotiating on your behalf, suggests a sense of support and advocacy you may feel in your waking life. The figure of a parent, especially a father, often represents authority, protection, and guidance in dreams. Your father acting as a spokesperson could indicate your subconscious acknowledgment of a supportive figure in your life or a desire for such guidance in decision-making or financial matters.
The specific mention of the $1600, being $100 short of the asking price, may reflect a nuanced consideration of your value or worth, either literally in financial terms or metaphorically in personal or professional relationships. The fact that your father was willing to ask for a higher amount if you needed it implies a sense of security and reassurance that you have people who will stand up for your interests.
The other seller, although ambiguous and not well-defined in your dream, might represent feelings of inclusivity or perhaps a minor concern about fairness and shared benefits in a transaction or situation involving multiple parties. Since the dream didn't evoke negative feelings and the emotions level was low, it seems like these themes are not causing you significant stress but are more reflective in nature.
Your previous dreams also dealt with themes of relationships, identity, and past decisions, which is not uncommon as these are often significant aspects of our lives. The dreams featuring the girls in black, the friend's husband and the woman in the pantry, and the announcement from old friends seem to weave a narrative of interpersonal dynamics, hidden aspects of self or others, and reflections on past choices. This latest dream could be touching on a similar thread—how you interact with others and the roles people play in your life, whether they are close family or more peripheral figures.
Overall, Janet, your dreams appear to be a tapestry of your experiences and subconscious musings about relationships and personal value. They seem to reflect a contemplative period, perhaps considering the roles of others in your life and how you assess your own worth within these dynamics.
