To dream of learning to play an instrument suggests a sense of purpose and a need to apply yourself. You could have a project in mind or something you’re already working towards and you know it will take time and effort. There’s a sense of balance and harmony that comes with anything musical, and it may be that to progress you need to listen with an open heart, and then you’ll find your groove.
Consider the instrument you’re playing, as this has some influence on the meaning. If you’re using your hands, this suggests a need to be practical, whereas a woodwind instrument might indicate a need to take a deep breath and find your voice to move forwards. If you’re an accomplished musician, then this translates to your waking world where you’ll be met with the recognition you deserve.
