Postage

Postage stamps — small fees that send word on its way — often touch system and remuneration in business, with disrepute in using cancelled ones. The dream may ask where orderly method is paying off in your affairs, and whether you're conducting things properly toward a rising distinction or cutting corners that risk your good name.

Miller 1901
