Inner harmony; balance; divine influence or vibrations; needing to make more music in your life or in a relationship; self-expression; the rhythm of the universe. Conversely it may represent anxiety about facing the music, fear that it is time to pay the piper, take the consequences of your behavior; possibly death anxiety.
Musical instruments can represent sensual or creative achievements or aspects of yourself, including sexual organs. Playing musical chairs suggests an unconscious awareness or anxiety about some shuffling around going on in your waking life or about achieving a new perspective.

I had a dream last night that I was driving in my old car — a 2001 Malibu that was totaled in Nov ’07 — and no matter what station I tuned the radio to, it only played Elvis music. However, I heard Ella Fitzgerald music coming from the backseat. I turned around & there was nothing or no one in the backseat but I still heard it. I thought there was a radio/cd player in the trunk so I pulled over & checked the trunk but no radio/cd player and I could still hear both Ella & Elvis.

Someone help me interpret this dream. I am a rapper, and have been working on my first album for the last couple months. Last night I dreamt I was at eminem’s house, and there were other people there. We were all looking to get his okay on our music. He really didn’t like one of the guys at all. He took a liking to me and gave me good advice on my album. Then it seemed he was about to sign me to a record deal but I woke up.

In school, I played first chair flute and did well in competitions, etc. I had a dream that I was back in school, and forgot how to read music! It was horrible! Then I forgot my locker number, the combination, the classes that I was supposed to attend…and the classmates all laughed at me, and one boy made a bear attack me. It was very vivid.

I don’t usually play music, except when I was a kid, I’d play the piano and that’s it. But I had a dream that I was playing a fiddle and I was really good at it. I kept saying that I had never even touched one before yet I could play really well.

I’m a music teacher, so when I have dreams about music I assume its from teaching too much. One dream I had was that I couldn’t get away from the piano. The piano room I was in was only big enough for the piano and myself…there was no door. Also, I could hit any key on the piano and its would always sound perfect.
