Playing the Harp

Ibn Sirin: Playing the harp in a dream signifies telling lies. According to some interpreters, it also indicates a long life.

To see in a dream that you have broken or thrown away the harp indicates that you will tell a lie and feel remorse.

To see in a dream that a respected person gives you a harp signifies that you will derive benefit from that person; to see someone playing the harp while you listen signifies that you will hear an untruthful word.

Kirmani: To see in a dream that you are playing the harp signifies that you will enter into a joint undertaking with a woman of reputation, and that, on account of this, you will attain rank and wealth, and in the end marry that person. Playing and dancing with the reed flute or the saz together with the harp signifies affliction and distress.

Jabir al-Maghribi: To see in a dream that, while you are ill, you play the saz and the harp is interpreted as the approach of death.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

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.
