Rabbit
Rabbits are known for their quickness and
cuddliness, but not for their keen perceptions, or good animal
instincts. In our dreams, rabbits can represent luck, quickness,
fertility, pregnancy, and magic. However, they can also symbolize
a lack of consciousness or awareness. They could suggest to the
dreamer that he at times reacts too quickly to life's situations,
and that more thought and proper planning may be needed.
Race
Are you competing, or running from or to
something? In order to have a good understanding of this dream
you should consider those factors. If you are simply running it
may be an indication that you need to slow down in your every day
life. If you are competing you need to consider your rivalry and
realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running
in a race and win, your subconscious may be expressing confidence
that you may or may not feel in the wakened state. Running in
your dreams may also symbolize the energy levels, the strength,
or the force that you have to get through life.
Rain
The meaning depends on your current
circumstances and on the kind of rain that is falling in your
dream. Rain in nature usually cleans, refreshes and fertilizes
(plants). Depending on the dreamer it could suggest a period of
renewal and fertility (reproduction or creativity). However, dark
clouds and a heavy down pour indicate feelings of isolation and
helplessness. Also See: Water
Rainbow
Usually there is a rainbow following a rain
storm (as is true on this page!). If you have weathered a
difficult time which is coming to closure, this dream symbol may
represent your joy and optimism. Rainbows make people smile and
feel happy. Some may say that this dream is a sign of your good
luck. I say that you must be feeling good on some level, and the
dark clouds that keep you down are gone for now. Enjoy your dream
and your good mood!!
Rape
Having this experience in a dream has
nothing to do with sex, as is true in real life. If you are
superstitious, take this dream as a warning and take precautions
in your life. Protect yourself emotionally and physically, and
don't engage in careless behaviors. This dream may reflect your
distress over a negative experience in your life. If you were
attacked in any way, psychologically or emotionally, it may
manifest in your dream in a form of rape. Additionally, if you
are experiencing extreme financial difficulties and pressures,
you may have such a dream. Finally, due to an non-supportive
environment, you may be feeling as thought people and situations
are draining you and taking away your energy and freedom. If you
are a rape victim and due to the traumatic nature of this
experience, you may have this dream from time to time.
Rats
They are unpleasant and symbolize danger,
poverty and illness. Your subconscious mind may be expressing
fear and seeing danger in some current life situation. Since all
dreams are good in the sense that they are relaying messages to
our conscious mind, so is this a good dream. Look at all the
details in your dream, face your fears and change those things in
your life that make you feel bad.
Relationships
It is common to dream about our
relationships. You can interpret this dream by remembering the
details and comparing them to the realities of your daily life.
In your dream state you may have some wish-fulfillment or
confront things that you would normally ignore. Some say that
relationships with strangers in your dream state represent the
different sides of your personality.
Resurrection
The word resurrection has positive and
miracles implications. Jesus resurrected on the third day, and he
also resurrected Lazarus. The theme of resurrection is explored
in all cultures and religions. It is always something awesome and
wondrous. Dreaming about resurrection may point to the awakening
of your spiritual nature. If you came into knowledge or
"enlightenment" that you never had before, the dream
could be referring to the resurrection of the spirit. This dream
could also represent insight a new energy. Some think that dreams
about resurrection are symbolic of reincarnation.
Right
The right side of the brain is associated
with fluid intelligence, nonverbal reasoning and creativity. In
your dream you may be concerned with direction or being right.
Either way, right usually has positive connotations. You may be
sending messages to yourself that you are on a right path or
doing the right thing.
Ring
Are you dreaming about rings---the jewelry,
or rings---the noise? If you are dreaming about jewelry, the ring
may be symbolic of your commitments and promises. The ring can
been seen from a larger point of view as a circle, which is a
symbol of completion and wholeness. If the ring is a noise, or
ringing, then this can be interpreted as an attention seeking
message. Consider those things that you have been ignoring or
unwilling to look at, and examine the details of your dreams.
Some people believe that a type of pleasant ringing may be a
"joyful" noise in the sense that it is the sound of
God. In that case this dream is a real blessing for you!
River
Water sustains life and is the most abundant
compound in all living things. It may represent the flow of your
energies, the path of your life and the passage of time. It also
may be symbolic of your emotional well being. Look at all of the
details of your dream. Is the water clear or murky, is it fast
moving, still or turbulent? Are you just floating along it's
currents or are you actively controlling your movements? Consider
these factors and see you can relate them to your life. Also

Road
It usually symbolizes our goals and the
journey that we take to achieve them. Consider the kind of road
that your are on and try to see how it relates to your every day
realities. If the road in straight, well marked and lit, it may
be a reinforcement that is telling you that your are moving in
the right directions. If there are many obstacles and the road is
very hard, consider your options. Also See: Car, Travel
Rocks
The connotations of this symbol, as well as
all other dream symbols, depend on the details and the mood of
the dream. The rock or rocks in your dream could represent a
variety of different ideas, but it usually has something to do
with matters of this physical world. Rocks generally do not
represent emotional, psychological or spiritual issues. Rather,
they may represent earthiness, sturdiness, stability and a solid
foundation. On the more negative side of things, rocks could
represent physical obstacles, or difficulties which the dreamer
may need to overcome.
Roller
coaster
The roller coaster ride seems to symbolize
the emotional ups and downs that a person is experiencing. This
ride can be fun, but most likely it is somewhat out of control,
and even scary. It indicates that great emotional ups and downs
may be due to negative behaviors or thoughts (either your own or
your partners). This dream may be telling you to exercise greater
will and self control, and to try to achieve a balance in your
life.
Roof
The roof by some is considered to represent the crown
chakra. For others it may represent a barrier between states of
consciousness. If you are dreaming about a leaky roof, new
information may be trying to get into you conscious awareness.
Finely, when dreaming about roofs you may be working on issues of
protection. Also See: House
Running
Are you competing, or running from or to
something? In order to have a good understanding of this dream
you should consider those factors. If you are simply running it
may be an indication that you need to slow down in your every day
life. If you are competing you need to consider your rivalry and
realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running
in a race and win, your subconscious may be expressing confidence
that you may or may not feel in the wakened state. Running in
your dreams may also symbolize the energy levels, the strength,
or the force that you have to get through life. (Same definition
