Dreaming about a rainbow at night or in a clear sky
What does it mean to dream about an impossible rainbow?
Common among the reports there are: at night, in a clear sky, in the same part of the sky as the sun, doubled oddly, or persisting far longer than one can.
A rainbow has strict physical conditions, which makes it an unusually good reality check for anybody who knows them: it must be opposite the sun, and it needs water in the air.
Dreams have no optics behind them, so they produce the image without the conditions and nobody objects.
That places it with the sun in the wrong part of the sky and the constellation that cannot be named. The sky is full of checkable facts, which is what makes it the best place to look.
Where this reads well
A precise and satisfying dream sign for anybody who knows where a rainbow has to be.
Where it is harder
None.
Worth asking yourself
Where was the sun? Was there rain? How long did it last?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
