R

Rabbit

Rabbits are often associated with reproduction so symbolize your reproduction. This is particularly the case if the rabbits have young.

Radiator

A radiator symbolizes your heart and circulatory system and asks you to share your warmth with others (radiate it).

Radio

To dream of radio receiving sets indicates that you are a clairaudient channel. Clairaudience is a gift where you literally hear messages from the spirit world. Mostly the messages are heard as lines from songs popping into your head. The segment of the song will repeat over and over making you wonder why you can’t get it out of your head. Once you accept it is a message, it immediately changes to a line from another song or stops if it is the end of the message. It can also work through hearing lines from movies.

Radio Station

A radio station symbolizes a strong intellect, absent healer, projector and hypnotist.  Projecting your mind onto others can be used to good and bad effect. It is very useful in presentations, sales, marketing and teaching. Be careful not to think badly of others, as your negative thoughts can have a negative effect on them. Whether you believe in karma or not you bring it on yourself for doing this. Hypnosis is achieved by the practitioner projecting their mind onto their subject. This is regardless of other tools the hypnotist may use to distract their client. It is their mental projection onto the mind of the subject that makes it work.

Radioactive

To dream of something radioactive, indicates that you are a clairaudient channel. Clairaudience is a gift where you literally hear messages from the spirit world. Mostly the messages are heard as lines from songs popping into your head. The segment of the song will repeat over and over making you wonder why you can’t get it out of your head. Once you accept it is a message, it immediately changes to a line from another song or stops if it is the end of the message. It can also work through hearing lines from movies. Radioactive is a pun, meaning that your clairaudient channeling is active.

Railway Station

A railway station symbolizes the start of your life journey or a phase of your life journey. For example, stepping off a train onto the platform symbolizes your birth. It can also indicate the end of your journey or stage in life.

Rain

Rain, like any symbol of water, represents life or your spiritual nature. Getting caught in the rain is very positive as it means letting life in. Sheltering from rain is about avoiding life or some specific aspect that you need to include in your life. For example, rain falling onto a car engine asks you to let life into your heart. Rushing out to close the bonnet / hood when the rain starts would mean that you do not want to let that happen.

Rat

Rats indicate a threat of cancer. For example, rats under the cooker in the kitchen are a warning of cancer of your stomach (cooker). A rat can also symbolize betrayal as in being ratted on.

Rear

While rear can be about the past (what is behind you), it is also a pun on rearing. This can either be about your childhood and events back then or about you raising children. Other symbols in the dream will be specific about the issues.

Red

Red symbolizes joy, sexuality, aggression, animal passion and fun. It is the color associated with your base chakra which is responsible for keeping you grounded. Red in dreams often indicates passion and joy. In a negative context it symbolizes anger. For example, to dream of your fiancé in a dress with a red border would indicate that your passion is border line in the relationship.  Red is an energizing color and is often used in dreams to give you the energy to be passionate about life. This is especially true when dreaming of red and white. For example, to dream of your deceased son greeting you wearing a red and white shirt attempts to restore your lost joy and hope in life after his death. It is common after such dreams to wake up feeling like you can once again get on with your life. Red and black indicates anger. For example, to dream of following a woman wearing a black and red dress would indicate that you copied (followed) your mother’s anger (black and red). The dream is identifying the source of your anger so you can do something to eliminate it. Dark red, maroon and auburn can indicate frigidity – fear linked to sexuality.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator symbolizes your stomach as it is located in the kitchen (digestive system) and is used to temporarily hold food. See Kitchen.

Relieved

To feel relieved in a dream asks you to relax with regard to the subject matter of the dream.

Resist

To resist in a dream means that in waking life you are resisting or stubborn with regard to the dream’s subject matter. The dream is asking you to change this behaviour.

Restaurant

Restaurants signify social contact and your digestive system.

Restroom

Restrooms have to do with elimination. The elimination being asked for can be a negative trait, the effects of a trauma or the negative influence of someone in your life.  When dreams focus on the physical toilet it is about your physical elimination system. For example, if the toilet is blocked with milk cartons it means your body cannot eliminate milk or dairy products properly so you need to cut down on dairy products or cut them out of your diet. A toilet bowl symbolizes your bowel.
