What does it mean to dream about musician?
A musician often stands for harmony, self-expression, or a feeling that asks to be voiced, rather than a literal performance.
Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read music as a way feeling finds release without plain words, so the musician may stand for the part of the self that expresses what cannot easily be spoken. He would ask what emotion the dream is letting sound.

Jung might see a musician as a figure of harmony and feeling, one who draws the parts of the self into accord. The figure can embody the expressive, attuned side of your nature.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Continuity ties a musician to real moods, a wish to express yourself, or a longing for harmony in some part of your life. The figure often appears when feeling is seeking a voice.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
The musician carries power across myth, from Orpheus whose song moved stones and shades to the harpers of Irish lore who could rouse sorrow, laughter, or sleep. The figure tends to embody the deep sway of music over the heart.
