Original source (English)
If you dream of a letter-carrier coming with your letters, you will soon receive news of an unwelcome and an unpleasant character.
To hear his whistle, denotes the unexpected arrival of a visitor.
If he passes without your mail, disappointment and sadness will befall you.
If you give him letters to mail, you will suffer injury through envy or jealousy.
To converse with a letter-carrier, you will implicate yourself in some scandalous proceedings.
