Duet
A duet often touches two voices in balance — the peaceful evenness of partners in tune, or the wrangling of two who each want to lead. The dream may ask where you're paired with another in love or work, whether your two lines harmonise or compete for dominance, and what tidings, pleasant or unwelcome, the joined song is carrying.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for duet, 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 hearing a duet played, denotes a peaceful and even existence for lovers. No quarrels, as is customary in this sort of thing. Business people carry on a mild rivalry. To musical people, this denotes competition and wrangling for superiority.
To hear a duet sung, is unpleasant tidings from the absent; but this will not last, as some new pleasure will displace the unpleasantness.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you sing a duet with a lady shows that you can win her if you desire. To dream you sing with a man shows you have a secret but powerful enemy, and is a sign you will never marry. To hear a duet denotes business troubles.
