This was like a rummage sale or jumble sale I was attending - no masks or distancing being employed so it may have been in the past ( or the future?) / anyway? I was scrabbling around on the floor picking up these un-mounted rubber stamps - someone else had seen them too and had yelled out "Ooh! Rubber stamps!" so I was pretty nifty and picked up a handful which all seemed quite unusual cartoon characters I'd not seen before or nursery rhymes? All a bit blurry now. Anyway, I asked how much this small handful of 22 stamps cost ( some no larger than my thumb nail - and the boy in charge said £22 which stunned me a bit. "What?!!" . After some deliberation I eventually agreed on £11 which was 50p each . It was for charity after all ( which one I never found out ). So, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the most enomous £10 note you've ever seen - it was like A4 size! Plus a pound coin ( normal size) and paid. They seemed happy with the enormous note for some reason. The dream sort of morphs into another scene then whch I mostly forget but this is still quite vivid . Weird eh? I'm obviously missing that social inter-action and going to boot sales and charity shops etc. like we used to do every week before lockdown and covid. Hopefully they will start again soon.

Hi William - yes, strange isn't it - my first rubber stamp dream as far as I can remember. Plenty of flea markets and piles of junk to sort through in previous dreams - annoying to not to remember exactly ones finds! Certainly some record bins were flicked through.
i don't think i've ever dreamt about rubber stamps surprisingly. record stores on the other hand...
