Trumpet
A trumpet — a bright, carrying call — often touches something of unusual interest about to befall you and wishes gained if you blow it, though hearing one can warn of misfortune. The dream may ask where an announcement is sounding for you, and whether the blast carries the arrival of something you've wished for or a warning note to heed.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for trumpet, 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 a trumpet, denotes that something of unusual interest is about to befall you.
To blow a trumpet, signifies that you will gain your wishes.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you hear the sound of a trumpet, is a bad omen, and denotes trouble and misfortune; to the tradesman it presages the loss of business; to the farmer, bad crops; to the lover, insincerity in the object of your affections.
