Yet another dream at a sprawling factory conversion. This was sort of a converted mill but a smokestack/tower was actually a store. The floor sloped up in a spiral. I was trying to walk up, towards the center to an elevator but kept sliding back b/c the slope was so steep & my shoes kept losing traction. Later, I was in ground floor level that was more of a grocery store. I wemt in one room that was kind of like a big barn area with produce shelves along the sides. The shelves were bare except for an area near the front that only had watermelons. In front of these shelves were walkways wit a low 3 or 4 ft wall on the other side of them that isolated the center of the room. The center had some sort of black filler up to the top of the fence but it wasn't solid (although it looked it). It was almost like a liquid. I passeda mgr on the way out and asked what was up with no veggies and i think he said something to the effect of they forgot to put them out. I left and went elsewhere in the development/campus. I think to a more residential type area. The whole thing was odd. I do dream of being in these live/work redevelopment kind of places often. In waking life I live in a small 1940s single family house.
Shopping dream (sort of)

Hey, DD. 
In real life do you live alone or without much family/neighborly interaction? I would guess that you are either more social-communal in your dreams--like the mind trying those various scenarios because they are fascinating "experiments" to catch a glimpse of--or *if* you have a bunch of similar social interaction in real life, then this is the style your dream-self uses to analyze various facets, like a musing or "turning over" (dreams can help us gain perspective in this way). Dream places aren't always related to real life, of course, but for the roughly-reoccurring ones, I'd think it is more likely than not--without there being any clear repeating message, that is, which would place it in the other realm of insistent lesson-to-be-learned. If that's the case, look toward the more symbolic/analog when picking at these dream types.
Regardless, the mashing together of building functions is highly interesting!
In the searching mode, of course it's common to be unable to get where you want to go (as if the ideal is unreachable), but for the watermelon section, do you have any impression what you were looking for? Are watermelons a favorite or were you passing them up because they aren't the most healthy of produce and you had different requirements?
And my suggestion for the black filler is related to waste/wetted compost--good thing you didn't smell it! Does that ring any bells/make any connection sense?
Did the dream feel like it contained significance, or simply existed as one of the experience-type dreams (ie, just for the perspective enriching, "exploring")?
