Dreaming about a rainbow
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
A rainbow is read as promise and reconciliation — in the East harmony after storm and a bridge of fortune (虹), in the West the union of opposites and hope after darkness, in Ibn Sirin's tradition safety, mercy, and a covenant after hardship.

Three readings
In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 虹
周公解梦 reads the rainbow as 虹 — harmony arriving after turbulence, a bridge between conditions; its appearance marks reconciliation, beauty, and fortune brightening after a hard passage. It is the sky's sign of peace returning.
In Western psychology · Jungian
Jung would read the rainbow as the union of opposites made visible — the bridge between heaven and earth, light refracted whole. It marks hope after a dark passage and the reconciliation of what had been split; a symbol of the Self's wholeness.
In Islam · Ibn Sirin
Ibn Sirin's tradition reads the rainbow as safety and mercy after hardship — a sign of relief, ease, and a covenant of peace following a trial. Framed as meaning: what reconciliation or relief is arriving after your storm?
