Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read the great rains as a damming feeling finally let go, relief and force together. The downpour can stand for an emotion held back until it had to break. What it washes over is worth noting.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung might see the monsoon as the return of inner flow after a dry season, renewal that comes in a rush. It can mark a release long overdue. The land it floods is the part of you being fed.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Continuity ties a monsoon to a waking sense of overdue release or change pouring in after waiting. It often follows a stretch that felt parched or stuck. The deluge mirrors the rush of it.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
The seasonal rains were greeted as a blessing across many lands, the gift that ended the dry months and renewed the fields. Their coming was met with festival. They stood for life returning in full flood.
