Part 2: the Viper....
So I'm in the rain again. Dark, Vancouver like, pissing rain nonstop.
I was at some kind of institution... it looked almost like an airport, but also like a hospital.... basically, it looked like a grimey, flourescent lit waiting room.
There seemed to be a lot of old, slower people around.
I was on some kind of mission, because I was some kind of ninja.
Ivy was parked in the parking lot, with a lot of similar dark, little cars around. It was a packed lot, and I remember spotting her, but approaching another car instead.
I was on a mission and didnt want to take Ivy incase I destroyed her. Plus I needed something more ... aerodynamic.
I found a car pretty similar to mine, only it was a convertible, and it was much more.. rectangular. I believe it was a BMW.
I used my own keys, and there was a moment of "reason" which told me it wouldnt work, but I did anyway and I was on my way.
I didnt even put the car into reverse but it still did what I wanted it to do.
I got out of the lot and started whizzing away. I felt sketchy since I'd just stolen a car.... but I felt so liberated, knowing I didnt have much to lose with it.
I remember driving onto a huge curving ramp that was wayyyyy high up. And thinking "I'm dreaming..." and slowly the ramp was fading, as I stopped believing in it. But I could hear myself say, "fuck it! Keep driving!" and so I did, and the dreamstate became present again.

Rain has a primary and obvious symbolism as a fertilizing agent, and is
related to the general symbolism of life (26) and water. Apart from this, but for
the same reason, it signifies purification, not only because of the value of water as
the ‘universal substance’—as the mediating agent between the non-formal or
gaseous and the formal or solid, an aspect which is common to all symbolic
traditions (29)—but also because of the fact that rainwater falls from heaven (7).
Hence it is also cognate with light. This explains why, in many mythologies, rain
is regarded as a symbol of the ‘spiritual influences’ of heaven descending upon
earth (28). In alchemy, rain symbolizes condensation or albification—further
proof that, for the alchemists, water and light were of the same symbolic family.

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.

On the other hand, the heavy downpour could represent unconscious materials and emotions attempting to enter the dreamer's conscious mind.
