Playing Musical Instruments (for Singing)

Scholars have said that if one dreams of playing a musical instrument (like the barbat) and is not religious, it might indicate false and bad praise attributed to oneself. The flute and dancing signify a great misfortune, a solitary drum suggests widespread false news, and the tambourine indicates fame.
