Tocsin
A tocsin — the alarm bell rung in crisis — often touches a strife from which you'll come victorious, though for a woman it warns of separation from a husband or lover. The dream may ask where an urgent alarm is summoning you to a fight, and whether you can answer the call and prevail, even as it sounds a note of possible loss in love.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tocsin, 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 tocsin sounded, augurs a strife from which you will come victorious. For a woman, this is a warning of separation from her husband or lover.
