The same dream sequel continued today morning.
It was raining when I woke up. Intended for it to stop raining when I would have to go out. Couldn't find a free umbrella. Went out (not raining) and about 20 minutes into walking, it started raining with increasing intensity.
Semi-successful attempts at rain shielding, but in the end, the sweater still got wet. T-shirt remained dry, though.
