I saw a rainbow in my dream. What does it mean?
Seeing a rainbow in a dream is interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as relief coming after hardship—like sunshine breaking through after a storm—along with safety from fear, abundance and, for a single person, a blessed marriage. Its bright, vivid colours herald joyful news and peace on the horizon.
The symbols in your dream
- A bright, vivid rainbow: Points to sorrows being left behind, hope renewing and glad tidings that lift the heart.
- A rainbow appearing after rain: Interpreted as a patiently endured test ending in goodness, barakah and peace.
