Spices
Spice, Spice market, Spicy food
Centuries ago, spices crossed oceans and deserts and were sometimes worth their weight in gold, and they still carry a hint of faraway places. In dreams they often stand for intensity and adventure, the extra kick that makes life less bland. A colorful spice market suggests curiosity about new experiences, cultures or people. Adding spice to a dish may show you're keen to shake up a routine that's grown too predictable. Too much of it can be a sign that a situation has become more heated or dramatic than you'd like.

- A spice you don't recognizeSomeone or something new is adding an unfamiliar flavor to your life. Taste a little before you decide.
- Spilling a jar of spicesA remark came out stronger than you meant, or a plan got messier than expected. A quick word of explanation will clear most of it up.
