Dreaming Lens: What size and style piano was in your dream: upright, grand, concert grand, or spinet? Was it being played? Were you the player? Was it in tune? Were you part of an orchestra, group, or solo? What style of music resulted: classical, jazz, blues, etc.?
Personal Focus: The piano is a feminine image of creative receptivity and potential. It must receive the attentions of someone to play it in order to achieve this potential, aligning it with the concept of receptivity. As the music that emerges from it can vary from Chopsticks to Chopin, its symbolic meaning also connects to mastery. Anyone can cause a piano to sing by striking a key, but only a master can make it truly soar. The essence of music is the magic of joy, and a piano represents this potential lying dormant, waiting patiently to be unleashed.
To see a piano and want to play it reveals a desire to tap into your inner creative expression. Actually playing one in your dream may indicate a period of blossoming joy.

A piano out of tune indicates that you may not be acting upon the relationship to your inner creativity often enough. [1]
