Telegram
A telegram — urgent word arriving from afar — often touches soon receiving unpleasant tidings, with a friend likely misrepresenting matters of concern to you. The dream may ask what pressing message is on its way, and whether the news about to reach you will distort something important, leaving you to sort truth from a misleading account.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for telegram, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
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.
