Whistle

A whistle — a sharp, carrying signal — often touches being shocked by sad news that upsets your plans for pleasure, though whistling yourself means a merry occasion. The dream may ask where a sudden, piercing summons is cutting through, and whether the note reaching you brings grievous tidings or the bright sound of your own gladness.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
