What does dreaming about rainbow mean in the Bible?

Covenant — God remembers His promise

In Scripture

The rainbow is God's own sign, set in the clouds after the flood as a pledge of mercy. Around His throne, John saw a rainbow still shining. Dreaming of one may be a reminder that God keeps covenant — the storm you passed through ends in a promise, not in ruin.
