United States Mail Box

A mailbox — channel for sealed, official correspondence — often touches entering transactions claimed illegal, with responsibility for another's irregularity if you post a letter. The dream may ask where you're committing something to a formal, public channel, and whether the dealing you're sending off is sound or about to implicate you.
