Dreaming of a Piano

piano, grand piano, keyboard, pianist · mixed

A piano promises joy if the music is sweet and frustration if it's discordant.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a piano: a joyful occasion
  • Sweet, rich music: success and health; lively tunes, thrift and happiness at home
  • You play difficult, enchanting music: you'll win over someone who has been indifferent
  • Discordant music: many exasperating matters to deal with
  • A broken or out-of-tune piano: dissatisfaction with yourself and disappointment at loved ones' failures
  • An old-fashioned piano: you've ignored past advice and opportunities; don't do it again
  • Sad, plaintive music: sorrowful news
  • You buy or are given a piano: money trouble

How you felt

  • Harmony or dissonance: the dream may reflect how in tune your relationships feel
  • A need for expression: a wish to put your feelings into something

Ask yourself

  • What rings true, and what sounds off, in my life right now?
  • Which feeling do I want to express?
