Auction
An auction in a dream is generally a good sign — the auctioneer's cry can mark bright prospects and fair dealing. It carries the energy of open exchange, of value found in the bidding. The dream tends to ask what we are putting up or competing for, and whether the trade ahead will treat us well.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for auction, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of an auction in a general way, is good. If you hear the auctioneer crying his sales, it means bright prospects and fair treatment from business ventures.
To dream of buying at an auction, signifies close deals to tradesmen, and good luck in live stock to the farmer. Plenty, to the housewife is the omen for women. If there is a feeling of regret about the dream, you are warned to be careful of your business affairs.
