Instruments – Instruments are some of the most important symbols in our dreams. There are many types and variations on different instruments. The exact meaning of your dream about instruments is largely connected to exactly what type of instrument you are dreaming about, with subtly different focuses in the dream symbols based on the methods used and artistry required to play the instrument. Instruments in general, though, symbolize the meeting of art and function in communication, and the potential that we all have to make our message both clear and beautiful. If you dream of playing an instrument well, this indicates that you have the gift for making yourself understood in a way that people appreciate and find pleasing. On the other hand, if you dream of playing an instrument badly, this is an indication that you struggle with tact and artistry in your communication. In your waking life, you may find that people react badly to the things you say.
