To hear the pealing forth of an organ in grand anthems, signifies lasting friendships and well-grounded fortune.
To see an organ in a church, denotes despairing separation of families, and death, perhaps, for some of them.
If you dream of rendering harmonious music on an organ, you will be fortunate in the way to worldly comfort, and much social distinction will be given you.
To hear doleful singing and organ accompaniment, denotes you are nearing a wearisome task, and probable loss of friends or position.

To dream of hearing the solemn and enchanting music of a church organ is a sad omen to young girls, as it foretells their early death: if a gentleman dreams this, it points to the death of some young girl in whom he takes an interest, and perhaps to his sweetheart, if he has one. To imagine you hear some lively tune on a street organ is also a bad omen, as it foretells that you will soon attend a funeral.
