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 everyday life. If you are competing, you need to consider your competitive drive and realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running in a race and win, your unconscious 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.
Mystical Meaning - If you dream you are racing a car or running, this is a sign that you will soon hear news. If you win, the news will be wonderful.

Radio
What is said or played on the radio may be messages from your unconscious. You are tuning in to its frequency. In particular, note the words of any songs played and consider what these say about the way you are feeling.
Mystical Meaning - Not many ancient mystics had radios, but superstitions that are more recent say that listening to one in a dream foretells an imminent meeting.

Rags
If you dream of wearing rags, you may be concerned about your self-image. You may feel unable to deal with responsibilities and may lack self-confidence. You may feel that your life is in tatters. Perhaps a little retail therapy will brighten you up? Buy something new and give yourself a boost.

Rain
Interpretation is contingent on your current circumstances as well as the kind of rain that is falling. Rain naturally cleans, refreshes, and "provides life-giving moisture." Depending on the dreamer it could suggest a period of renewal and fertility (reproduction or creativity). However, dark clouds and a heavy downpour indicate feelings of isolation and helplessness. On the other hand, the heavy downpour could represent unconscious materials and emotions attempting to enter the dreamer's conscious mind.

Rainbow
Rainbows are colorful bridges that fall across the sky, but we can not walk across them (or use them to get to our pot of gold). Currently you may experience great joy and have extraordinary or even magical ideas, but remember that you can not walk across the rainbow bridge, so stay well-grounded. Usually a rainbow follows a rainstorm. If so, you have weathered a difficult time that is coming to closure, this dream symbol may represent your optimism. Generally, rainbows make people smile and feel happy.

In order to understand this dream, you may need to think about the areas of your life that causes you great anxiety and fear. If you are superstitious, take this dream as a warning. Take precautions, protect yourself emotionally and physically and don't engage in careless behaviors. If you were a rape victim, the traumatic nature of this experience may cause you to have a dream like this from time to time.
Mystical Meaning - Even the Victorian dream books cover this topic. Superstition claims that if a woman dreams of rape, her pride will be wounded. You will hear shocking news if you dream that a friend is raped.

Rats
They are unpleasant and symbolize danger, poverty, filth, and illness. Your unconscious mind may be bringing up unpleasant images due to a disturbance in daily life. The dream's purpose is to make you aware of negative feelings that may encourage you to directly deal with the negativity in your life. Dreaming about rats leaves the dreamer feeling apprehensive and disgusted. Attempt to connect these feelings with those things that produce this type of anxiety during the day.

Rejection
You may be refusing to accept an influence in your life or a situation that is being imposed upon you. If you are the one rejected, it may reveal that you have hidden feelings of a lack of self-worth or alienation from others. Sometimes there are sexual undertones to this type of dream.

Relationships

Rescue
The person or thing that you rescue may represent an aspect of yourself that has been neglected or ignored. They symbolize an aspect of yourself that is trying to find expression.
