To dream that you receive a telegram, denotes that you will soon receive tidings of an unpleasant character. Some friend is likely to misrepresent matters which are of much concern to you.
To send a telegram is a sign that you will be estranged from some one holding a place near you, or business will disappoint you.
If you are the operator sending these messages, you will be affected by them only through the interest of others.
To see or be in a telegraph office, foretells unfortunate engagements.
