To dream of a parcel being delivered to you, denotes that you will be pleasantly surprised by the return of some absent one, or be cared for in a worldly way.
If you carry a parcel, you will have some unpleasant task to perform.
To let a parcel fall on the way as you go to deliver it, you will see some deal fail to go through.
