Nakkare (Goblet Drum)

To see in a dream the nakkare, called “çifte nara” in the Turkish of Istanbul—that is, to see a goblet drum—is auspicious. For our master, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), would have the nakkare played when he set out on campaign. The interpreters have not agreed regarding its interpretation. Some have interpreted it as indicating good, while others have said that it is reprehensible and that seeing it in a dream is inauspicious.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
