Example: A woman dreamed of going to her Aunt's house to pick up some mail and getting angry at her sister who was present. In waking life, she was frustrated after learning that her twin sister wanted to talk to her. Her relationship with her sister had gone bad about 5 years earlier after experiencing her sister ruin her own life and shut people out. In this case, picking up mail and getting into an argument with his sister may have reflected her feelings about hearing news from someone else about her sister wanting to talk to her again before losing her temper about it.
Example 2: A woman dreamed about picking up a stack of mail sent to her from a good old friend she used to talk to on the phone, go out to restaurants, and take walks with her. Each piece of mail had different amounts of money in it. She remembered how the friend had lost his mind and was eventually committed to a mental institution. In waking life, she was an Evangelist in a church with no children and was never married. She felt like she was running out of time to do whatever God's plan was for her life. In this case, picking up a stack of mail with money in it from a mentally ill friend may have reflected her feelings about receiving news, information, or insight related to her age that makes her think of choosing to do something different with her life other than be a marriageless, childless, church evangelist. The mentally ill friend who used to do fun things with her and who sent the mail in the dream may have reflected her feelings about how irrational it feels to get married, have children, or leave the church due to her older age after working for the church for so long.
Example 3: A person dreamed of sending their boss mail to tell them that they are quitting their job. In waking life, they were feeling anxious about their job and had been thinking about quitting. In this case, sending mail may have reflected their anxiety about communicating their decision to leave the job to their boss and the anticipated response from their boss.
