Post office queue

A line of people waiting to send or collect post — slow, patient civic time spent for the sake of a small transaction.

A post office queue in a dream is the dream's image of slow, patient civic time spent for the sake of a small transaction. The queue is not heroic; it is the ordinary cost of operating inside a shared system. The dream brings the queue when something in your life — an official process, a series of small necessary errands, a piece of bureaucracy — is being engaged with at the speed the system moves rather than at the speed you would prefer. A queue waited in calmly to the counter is the dream affirming the honest wait. A queue jumped or abandoned mid-way is the dream noting that the small transaction is now incomplete, and you will have to begin the wait again from the back of the line.
