DM asks me if I can give him a ride home later. I say sure. We're at some odd event. It's like a mansion, every room full of ancient artifacts. It's Asian, I think Japanese, and it's all being auctioned off -- with one peculiar caveat. It's all or nothing. You're bidding on the whole shebang. Of course this puts the stuff out of our price range.
But my dream makes the necessary modifications so that it becomes affordable. (Dream logic, what can I say?) I take an interest in a figurine which isn't really a figure, it's just an interesting and complex shape about half the size of a breadbox. A seller agent picks it up to give to me, but then notices that it is leaking. What is it leaking? I don't know, but let's say ink, and the figurine is therefore a stylized inkholder, to lend some sense to the dream. He can't sell it to me in that condition.
But later I pick up a couple of objects and am carrying them around, and the dream switches back to the all-or-nothing auction, in which case I could be construed as a thief. But I took the items from a room that isn't part of the auction, so I'm innocent. But a lawyer type tells me I should plead guilty, and laments the state of U.S. law where it's to your benefit to lie and say you are guilty than truthfully plead your innocence.
The dream logic shifts again, with a sequence involving a long and confusing hallway, and then I'm outside, but the streets are all unfamiliar and I don't know how to get home.
Then I'm back inside, and a middle-aged Asian woman approaches to give me a box, saying that she fixed the figurine that isn't really a figurine and I can now take it, which I do, though hesitantly, because now, in my mind (through dream logic), what I've purchased has morphed into a puzzle box, which she's taken apart and packed up all nice for me -- only I have no idea how I'll reassemble it later.
On that anxious note I woke up.
This dream took place between 3:58:30 am and 4:05:30 am, as you can see from the following graph.

DM? Where the heck did you go? Oh, well, I suppose you had to prepare for your nightly rendezvous with 4:20.
