Chimes
Chimes often ring through a dream as a marking of occasion — a sound that announces, summons, or carries word from somewhere far off. The dream may ask what you're waiting to hear, or which distant connection is stirring back into your awareness, asking to be remembered or answered.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for chimes, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of Christmas chimes, denotes fair prospects for business men and farmers.
For the young, happy anticipations fulfilled. Ordinary chimes, denotes some small anxiety will soon be displaced by news of distant friends.
