(Drum, Musical instruments) In a dream, a tambourine means adversities, pain, and suffering. It also means fame for the one carrying it. If a girl dancer carries it in a dream, it means that she may win a lottery or acquire a publicly known fortune. The sound of a tambourine in a dream represents a recognized and baseless fallacy. Seeing a man carrying a tambourine means fame for him and for whoever accompanies him in the dream. A woman carrying a tambourine in a dream also means that she will become famous, or it could indicate a new social trend. In general, when musical instruments are used in one's dream, playing them in a festival, a wedding, or in any type of celebration means trials. (Also see Musical instruments)
