Broken Oud String

Scholars have said that seeing oneself playing the oud and its string breaking may indicate the dreamer's release from his worries. It has also been said that plucking the oud may signify a noble king who has been dethroned and lost his honor, suffering whenever he remembers his kingdom. For the righteous, it is a lesson; for the wicked, it is corruption of people; and for the unjust, it is oppression of people.
