What Does Dreaming of Rain Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
According to traditional interpretation and Ibn Sirin, seeing rain in a dream is mostly read as a sign of mercy, plenty, abundance, provision, and purification from sins; gentle rain that causes no harm may point to goodness and relief, while a torrential or murky downpour may point to hardship, illness, or strife.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective (Jung/Freud), rain may be an outward expression of emotions accumulated in the unconscious being released—a need for inner cleansing and renewal; water falling from the sky may point to spiritual refreshment or to a longing to release long-held tears.
