Black Swan Appraisal

I had a dream that went as followed. It was in the middle of the afternoon, though everything was dark because of curtains. A black swan was being reviewed by a group of mysterious people, faceless yet identifiable as strangers. It was hard to tell if the situation unfolding before my dream eyes was like a dog or cat show; or more akin to an auction situation, where the black swan's value, it's worth, was being assessed. The dream was unclear about this. I assume it was the latter. What started out has two or three judges, faceless, featureless, judges, quickly becomes a group of people huddled around this mysterious swan not knowing what to make of the creature. Each proposed a theory that was quickly rejected because everyone sensed it was wrong. However no one knew what the right answer was. What should I make of this?
