Dreaming of rain
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A gentle rain on fields foretells increase, profit that comes without strain, kindness after a hard season. For farmers and all who wait on slow things it is among the best of signs.
Drawn down, it warns of A violent downpour that ruins the stores warns of plans washed out and quarrels arriving with the flood. Rain falling indoors signals trouble at home.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Rain is feeling arriving at last, the held emotion loosening and coming down where it can do some good. A soft rain in a dream waters what the conscious life has let go dry.
Drawn down, it warns of Rain that floods or will not stop is grief past its container, an inner weather you've stopped trying to read. Watching rain from behind glass, unable to go out in it, is feeling kept at arm's length from your own life.
