Rain
Rain stands for release and abundance — it washes away what was blocked. Being caught in the first rain after drought means worries clearing and generous help arriving, a reading carried over from farming days when rain simply was wealth. Sheltering under the eaves means step back and wait for the timing. But rain past handling — a downpour or flood — means matters arriving all at once, so it is time to set priorities.
Rain is not something anyone calls down; it comes on its own and stops on its own. From a time when rain simply was the year’s harvest, the reading has carried over: rain falling in good measure was taken as gracious help. The same rain, though, is read very differently according to how much of it fell and where you stood.
Readings by Situation
Welcome rain after a drought
A favourable dream of worry loosening and help arriving. It reads as long-awaited news, or deferred support, finally coming through. If the scene was of rain soaking into dry ground, it is taken especially well.
Walking in the rain and feeling good
It means old feeling being washed away. If you took it without sheltering, read it as a sign that you are ready to accept the situation you are in.
Sheltering from the rain under the eaves
It means to step back a moment and wait for the time. Going out now means getting soaked; waiting a little means it passes. If a decision is in front of you, better to let a beat go by.
Downpour or flood, more rain than you can take
It means things arriving all at once, so this is the time to set priorities. Water coming into the house was read as matters spilling over into your living space. It is closer to a sign to cut back what you have underway.
Rain dreams speak mostly of washing and abundance, but past a certain amount the same symbol turns into a burden. Whether you welcomed the rain or feared it in the dream decides which way to read it.
