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. 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.

Rainbow
Rainbows are colorful bridges that fall across the sky and we can not walk across them (or use them to get to our pot of gold). Even though your ideas and joyfulness, at the current time, may be extraordinary or even magical, remember that you can not walk across the rainbow bridge so stay well grounded. Usually there is a rainbow following a rain storm. If you have weathered a difficult time which is coming to closure, this dream symbol may represent your joy and optimism. Generally, rainbows make people smile and feel happy. Thus, 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 See: Water, Ocean
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
At times, a roof represents the crown chakra. It may represent a barrier between states of consciousness or it may be symbolic of your ideology and philosophy. If you are dreaming about a leaky roof, new information may be trying to get into your conscious awareness. On a more pragmatic note, the roof in your dreams could be bringing up issues of protection and materialistic comfort (a roof over your head). Also See: House
Rose
Most flowers are seen as friendly dream symbols. Roses may have their own special meaning as they are the most frequently used flowers. They could represent femininity, beauty, love and romance. Roses may have some spiritual significance as well. They are used when expressing both positive and negative emotions. They unfold and can be considered symbols of innocence. The color of the rose, as well as the details of the dream should be considered when making interpretation. White -- purity; red -- passion; pink -- romance and love; black -- death.
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 appears on top of the page for Race, but since many people continue to ask me for running, I decided to list them separately.)
