Dreaming of a Parcel

parcel, delivery, package · mixed

Receiving a parcel promises a nice surprise; carrying or dropping one points to chores and setbacks.

What happens in the dream

  • A parcel is delivered to you: a pleasant surprise as someone absent returns, or practical support
  • You carry a parcel: an unpleasant task lies ahead
  • You drop the parcel on the way: a deal won't go through

How you felt

  • Happy anticipation: the dream may reflect hope for good news
  • A burden: a sense of carrying a responsibility you don't enjoy

Ask yourself

  • What am I hoping to receive?
  • What load have I agreed to carry for someone?
