Rainbow

The rainbow is classically a covenant — in the Genesis flood narrative, God’s promise never again to destroy. Norse mythology gives us Bifröst, the rainbow bridge guarded by Heimdall, connecting Midgard to Asgard. Jung treated rainbow-dreams as integrations of the psyche’s full spectrum — all colors visible at once, briefly, after storm. A rainbow dream almost always follows a hard passage: a period of weeping, illness, a rupture. It marks not that the difficulty is forgotten, but that a wholeness is available on the other side of it. Notice whether you walk toward the rainbow, stand beneath it, or see it reflected.
