Dreaming of a Telegram

A telegram foretells unwelcome news and misunderstandings.
What happens in the dream
- You receive a telegram: unpleasant news, and a friend who twists the facts
- You send a telegram: a rift with someone close, or a business letdown
- You're the operator: the news affects you only through others
- You're in a telegraph office: unfortunate commitments
How you felt
- Apprehension: waiting for news that could change things
- Urgency: a feeling that something must be said quickly
Ask yourself
- What news am I dreading?
- Is there a message I've been putting off sending?
