Purple Hailstorm in dreams

A hailstorm in a dream is the dream's image of small, hard impacts arriving from a sky you expected to be soft. Rain you can walk through; hail dents the roof. The dream brings the hailstorm when a stream of small but real harms — comments, costs, accidents — is currently landing on you from a direction that ought to have been neutral. A hailstorm sheltered from is the dream telling you the protection is adequate and the storm will pass. A hailstorm endured in the open is the dream noting that you have not given yourself permission to step inside, and the small impacts are accumulating into damage.
