2- The dreamer should be aware that action needs to be translated from dreams into waking life to enable them to move forward.

Interpretation 2 — Stephen Girard

To dream that you are sent on an errand, signifies great loss to the married; to the lover it denotes success to his pursuits, and that he will shortly marry a very amiable and accomplished maiden. For a maiden to dream that she was sent on an errand, denotes that she will shortly marry the object of her affections, and be very happy; to the sick, it denotes a speedy recovery.
