Psychology
Reaching the foot of a rainbow mirrors the search for a reward not yet seen, eagerly awaiting the moment effort pays off. Finding nothing reflects fear of going unrewarded; finding something shows your real desire.
Folklore and history
Irish lore famously places a pot of gold at the rainbow's end. In medieval Japan, markets are said to have been held where a rainbow touched down, marking the spot as special. Dream readers link it to money luck and windfalls.

This site's view
In this site's view, the rainbow's foot is also a point where this world meets another. Joy at treasure is a plain lucky dream. But a stranger waiting there, or ground sinking endlessly, may mean you sense the closer you get to what you want, the more you must give up.
Going deeper: our reading
In Maeterlinck's The Blue Bird, two children search for the bird of happiness, only to find it at home. In this site's reading, if the rainbow's end turned out to be a surprisingly familiar place, your heart is beginning to notice that the fortune you seek is already near. A rainbow ending in your own garden or on a corner you pass every day suggests a time to rediscover value in ordinary life. Sharing the treasure with family or friends shows a nature that enjoys success together rather than hoarding it. Hurriedly hiding it reflects fear of losing your luck or worry about others' eyes. If someone showed you the way, their advice may truly bring good fortune. This is our speculation, but the dream may be your heart whispering to someone tired of chasing distant success to look at their feet again.
