The tambourine in a dream is fame and good reputation. If it is at a wedding, it is joy and happiness. If at a funeral, it is calamity.

The tambourine indicates marriage or the arrival of an absent person. Playing it indicates hearing good news.

The tambourine is interpreted as news. If its sound is good, it is good news. If it is ugly, it is bad news.
