Islamic Interpretation
(Drum, Musical instruments) In a dream, a tambourine signifies hardships, pain, and affliction, yet it also denotes notoriety for the person who carries it. If a dancing girl is seen holding a tambourine, it indicates that she may gain sudden wealth, such as winning a lottery, or acquire riches that become widely known. Hearing the sound of a tambourine represents a well-known but unfounded belief or claim. Seeing a man carrying a tambourine signifies fame for him and for those who accompany him in the dream. A woman carrying a tambourine likewise signifies renown, or it may point to the emergence of a new social fashion or trend. In general, the appearance of musical instruments, especially when played during festivals, weddings, or celebrations, represents trials and ordeals. (Also see Musical instruments)
