We tend to think of dreams as being random, but they often have a greater meaning than we realize.
Dreams can be viewed as a way for our subconscious to process information and make sense of the world around us. Our minds are constantly taking in new information, processing it, and making connections between things we see, hear and experience throughout the day.
So why do we dream about rain? Dreams about rain are often associated with a sense of loss. They can represent sadness, pain and melancholy, but they can also be a sign that you’re ready to leave something behind you.
Dreams about rain can also be a sign that you need to be careful about how much time and energy you spend on something or someone. If you find yourself dreaming about rain frequently, it could be an indication that you’re going through an emotional transition.
If you dream about rain, ask yourself what emotions it evokes for you. Are there any feelings of sadness or melancholy? Are there tears? Do you feel like something is missing from your life? All these feelings can help shed light on what’s going on beneath the surface when it comes to your dreams.
Dreaming of rain (General meaning)
The general interpretation of the dreams about rain is that you are going through a period of stress and anxiety. If that is the case, then this dream indicates that you need to find ways to deal with your problems in a more positive way.
Rain symbolize tears and crying, so if you see rain in your dream, then it can mean that you are going through some sort of relationship problem. This may be with your partner or with family members.
It is also important to know the other details from the dream. For example, if you are unable to find cover in your dream, and you get wet because of the rain, then this dream is often seen as a symbol of sadness, depression and loneliness. If you have an umbrella in the dream, that this is taken as a sign that someone cares about you.
If in your dream you are watching the rain from a safe place, like for example from inside your home, this dream can be taken as a positive sign, especially if you are watching the rain with your partner.
If this is the case, then this dream is a sign that your relationship is strong and that you are happy in it.
It is also very important to know if in your dream there was also a storm or lighting and thunder. The interpretation can also change based on what you did in the dream- dreams about running from the rain have completely different interpretation than a dream about dancing in the rain.
While, generally, dreams about rain are not seen as positive, there are some which can be seen as symbols of cleansing and renewal.
