Street musician
A musician playing in public for whoever passes — art offered to a moving audience that may not stop.
A street musician in a dream is the dream's image of art offered to a moving audience that may not stop. The musician plays without guarantee of being heard; the work goes on regardless. The dream brings the street musician when something in your life — a creative output, an honest public contribution, a quiet act of beauty — is being offered into a crowd whose attention is not promised. A street musician played to by a few listeners who do stop is the dream affirming that the offering finds its audience. A street musician played for no one, with the hat empty, is the dream noting that the offering has continued past the point of receiving any response, and the question of whether to keep playing is in the room.
