Fife
A fife's shrill call often touches a summons to defend honour — yours or someone close. The dream may ask where your good name, or another's, is suddenly in need of standing up for, whether you'd answer the call, and what unexpected demand to take a stand is sounding its sharp, carrying note through your life.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fife, 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 fife, denotes that there will be an unexpected call on you to defend your honor, or that of some person near to you.
To dream that you play one yourself, indicates that whatever else may be said of you, your reputation will remain intact. If a woman has this dream, she will have a soldier husband.
Fontaine, 1862
For a girl to dream she hears the shrill music of a fife, is a sign she will soon have a beau, and that he will be a smart and desirable young man.
