I had quite a night of dreaming last night, as I've had here lately.
The lines of reality were completely blurred during this first dream I'm going to attempt to relay.
I was lying in bed *awake (I'm at least 99% sure I was awake) and I rolled over on my back with my head looking to the side at the double doors at the entrance to my bedroom. There are always dim lights around my house at night, so my room is in low light from the adjacent room. Almost immediately they began to slowly close on their own, the doors. I was mezmerised and could not distinguish whether I was asleep, or awake. The low lighting in the room faded out as the doors finally shut. The remaining low light showing through the cracks of the doors seemed all the brighter in my now dark room. Then suddenly all the lights went out, and my dog (who sleeps at my bedside) started softly whimpering. It was then that I began to hear a Shofar horn, and I was full of fear. I just started wrestling with my mind and senses as to whether this was real or a dream, and found myself urgently wanting to tell to someone.

It definitely had a distinguished sound. I apologize for the confusion, but I'm still trying to locate the sound from internet archives.

I'm sorry, but it sounded more Islamic or Muslim than the Jewish Shofar sound. But I did find this that leaves me wanting to say it sounded similiar.
Its the Shofar again but with variation.
The smaller Rams horn is closer sounding.
Help me find Islamic/Muslim horn related sounds.

6 Ibn Sa'd, vol. 3, part I ( not part 2, as is printed erroneously in C.H. Becker, Islamstudien I, 477, note 3, following Wensinck, Moh. en de Joden, iii sq., where the same misprint occurs), p. 83, has yajharu, which means "make public." The Jews used to blow the shofar horn on Friday afternoon in order to call everybody's attention to the approaching Sabbath which begins on Friday afternoon, approximately an hour before nightfall). Cf. Talmud Babli, Hullin fol. 26b. A later source (Kashani, Bada'i al-sana'i, Cairo, 1327/8, I, 268, cf. Becker, I.c.) reads here yatajahhazu, 'buy provisions." Whatever the original reading, the meaning is one: on the eve of Sabbath it is, however, almost sure that Ibn Sa'd, too, had originally yatajahhazu, as Becker suggests, or rather tajahhazu (Franz Rosenthal in a letter to the present writer).

It's still a Jewish thang.

In English-speaking culture, the image of Gabriel as the angel that shall blow the trumpet blast that initiates the end of time and the general resurrection at the Last Judgment, which has no source in the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament,[10] is a familiar trope. (It may be taken from Norse Heimdall who according to legends, will sound the Gjallarhorn, alerting the Ćsir to the onset of Ragnarök where the world ends and is reborn.) It may also be taken from Mother Shipton's Prophecies "For storms will rage and oceans roar, when Gabriel stands on sea and shore, and as he blows his wondrous horn, old worlds die and new be born." It ranges from its first appearance in English in John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667)[11] to African-American spirituals: in Marc Connelly's play based on spirituals, The Green Pastures (1930), Gabriel has his beloved trumpet constantly with him, and the Lord has to warn him not to blow it too soon.[12] Four years later "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" was introduced by Ethel Merman in Cole Porter's Anything Goes (1934). The mathematical figure given the modern name "Gabriel's Horn", was invented by Evangelista Torricelli (1608–1647); it is a paradoxical solid of revolution that has infinite surface area, but finite volume. Today, probably the best known reference to Gabriel's horn is in the alma mater for the University of Texas at Austin, The Eyes of Texas.
In Islamic tradition, though not specified in the Qur'an, the trumpeter sounding the trump of doom[13] is not Gabriel, but Israfel.
The earliest identification of Gabriel as the trumpeter that S. Vernon McCasland was able to trace was in an Armenian illuminated manuscript dated 1455, at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.[14]
If that's your horn then woe buddy.
Although the article is correct in that Gabriel by name is never mentioned as being the angel with the trumpet, there are 7 trumpets in Revelation that angels sound, with the last trump being very significant.

my daughter has that dream pretty often, but sometimes the door is opening instead of closing, and there's never a Shofar
Some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor Fire.
But if I had to Perish twice ...
