Violin

A violin — sweet-toned and expressive — often touches harmony and peace in the family with finances at ease, but sad bereavement and separation in a broken one. The dream may ask where a fine, resonant accord is sounding through your home, and whether the instrument of your domestic harmony is whole and singing or cracked toward loss.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for violin, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To see, or hear a violin in dreams, foretells harmony and peace in the family, and financial affairs will cause no apprehension.

For a young woman to play on one in her dreams, denotes that she will be honored and receive lavish gifts.

If her attempt to play is unsuccessful, she will lose favor, and aspire to things she never can possess.

A broken one, indicates sad bereavement and separation.
