Original source (English)
Working a bellows, denotes a struggle, but a final triumph over poverty and fate by energy and perseverance.
To dream of seeing a bellows, distant friends are longing to see you.
To hear one, occult knowledge will be obtained by the help of powerful means. One fallen into disuse, portends you have wasted energies under misguiding impulses.
