Dream of a Will-o'-the-Wisp Extinguished by Rain - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, a will-o'-the-wisp being extinguished by rain is sometimes seen as anxiety or vain expectations that had been holding you settling down.
Rain falls over a will-o'-the-wisp floating along a night road or over a field, and its light grows smaller before going out. You may feel relieved afterward, or suddenly find the darkness emptying you out.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a will-o'-the-wisp going out has sometimes been interpreted as enchantment or anxious energy weakening. Conversely, it may be seen as something you had hoped for becoming unclear or pausing for a while. (This interpretation comes from the folk-dream-reading tradition of connecting a light appearing and going out with the rise and fall of energy.)
Through the mind: It may be a process in which something that has been troubling you is being sorted out through real-life circumstances or new information. If relief and regret remained together, you may have simultaneously wanted to let go and not wanted to miss out.
