Dreaming of Rain

rain, downpour, drizzle · mixed

Gentle, clear rain points to pleasure, prosperity and love; stormy rain is always unlucky.

What happens in the dream

  • You are out in a clear shower or gentle rain: pleasure, prosperity and success
  • You watch a downpour from indoors: fortune, and love returned
  • You hear rain on the roof: happiness at home and a modest fortune
  • You see rain coming and stay dry: your plans will come together quickly
  • Your roof leaks clear water: an unexpected, slightly illicit pleasure; muddy water: the reverse, and exposure
  • You see rain falling on others: you will shut friends out of your confidence
  • A storm with wind, thunder and lightning: much trouble, even thieves, though you'll succeed in the end
  • Rain falls from murky clouds: your undertakings will worry you
  • Rain falls on livestock: disappointment in business and social life

How you felt

  • Melancholy or relief: the dream often reflects a need to let go and let feelings flow
  • Shelter: perhaps a wish to feel protected through a stormy patch

Ask yourself

  • What do I need to let flow?
  • Where do I feel sheltered?
