Ask the Author: Question and Response
 

What does it mean when you dream about rain all the time?

- Brittney M., USA

You may ask three well informed individuals this question and receive three accurate, yet dissimilar, responses. Yet the goal here is not to go outside yourself to obtain answers to questions that lie within. The goal would be to empower yourself to answer your own questions. In that spirit, I offer a subject you may research, explore and try for yourself: lucid dreaming.  

Lucid dreaming is a learned technique that allows you to wake up within your dreams, take control of them, and ask any question you desire. In your specific instance, you would wake up within a dream where rain was present. Stop the rain and question it as to what it represents. Then, the rain or some other character within the dream would answer your request. 

You create the images within your dream. You allow for their expression. Would you not feel that listening to what it is you are trying to tell yourself is a healthy thing? Choose to take control of this aspect of your growth. For it is much easier than your ego will let you believe. The ego wants you to believe that the answer lies outside of you, that you must ask someone else for answers to your own questions. My friend, no one knows you better than you know yourself.

My friend, the answer lies within you now, simply in wait for the question to be asked. When I say that all knowledge resides within you now, I mean that in the most literal sense. Let the act of lucid dreaming be a witness to this, and learn how to answer your own questions. Your belief that this is possible is the first step you take on your walk through the rain. For what lies beyond the rain is a blanket of light so warm and all-embracing that not one more drop shall ever touch your head again.
