Rainwater in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Falling rain, Storm water, Latter rain, Former rain

What it means

God's blessing; the outpouring of the Spirit; a refreshing, a new thing and growth.

Increase, prosperity and abundance following a season of dryness.

Rain makes the crops grow and the land produce, which is why it stands for blessing that results in visible yield rather than blessing that is merely felt.

✦ When it is positive

  • Blessing and outpouring
  • Refreshing after drought
  • Doctrine that drops as the rain

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Destroying rain that brings chaos, representing demonic destruction
  • Rain withheld, representing a closed heaven

How to tell the difference

Note the CHARACTER of the rain: gentle rain on ground indicates blessing and teaching; violent rain that floods and destroys indicates something else entirely. Also note whether the dreamer is sheltered from it or standing in it.
