Moving to an unreachable place: a wish fulfilled or a major turning point, sometimes closure with someone lost.

Psychology
Crossing a rainbow reflects a wish to bridge a gap that cannot be crossed in waking life, with hope outweighing fear before a big change. Firm footing or a bridge about to crumble shows how confident you feel.
Folklore and history
Norse myth tells of Bifrost, the rainbow bridge linking the gods' realm to the human world. Today the tale of pets waiting at the Rainbow Bridge is widely known. Seeing rainbows as a path between here and beyond seems shared across cultures.

This site's view
In this site's view, it matters whether you came back. If the view opened ahead, you are ready for a new world. If you looked back and felt you left someone behind, that is faint guilt about moving on. If you crossed to meet someone lost, the meeting itself is closure.
Going deeper: our reading
Recall how the rainbow felt beneath your feet. In this site's reading, a footing as firm as glass shows you can trust your decision and move forward despite major change. A surface soft as cloud that gave way suggests the future you want is not yet fixed, and you must test each step. Slipping repeatedly reflects anxiety that preparation has not kept pace with your high hopes. Freezing at the height may mean fear of leaving safe ground still looms large. Crossing hand in hand with someone shows a wish to pass a milestone together; carrying someone suggests you want to support their change or departure. In Japanese, a person who connects others is called a rainbow bridge, and you may be taking that role. This is our speculation, but the dream may come to those who hold precious things in two separate worlds.
What to do on waking
If change is near, write one thing to take with you and one to leave behind.
