Flute

A flute's clear notes often touch a pleasant reunion and the engaging charm that draws hearts together — though its music can also stir contention. The dream may ask what gathering of distant friends approaches, whether you're falling for someone's appealing manner, and what sweet sound is calling you toward connection or dispute.
