Psychology
A light drizzle reflects not clear sorrow but vague gloom and slowly gathering fatigue. It tends to come when your mood has grown damp without any big event, and an umbrella-less rain may mirror how lightly you treat your own low spirits.
Folklore and history
Japanese has words for the finest, quietest rain, naming even rain that barely shows. Dream readers usually treat a drizzle gently, as a small worry or a slow change rather than a disaster.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice whether you opened an umbrella. Walking on without caring about getting wet reflects a habit of enduring small troubles. Taking the trouble to open one shows a healthy willingness to protect yourself. If the distance was hazy, the unease may be less about events than about not seeing ahead.
Going deeper: our reading
A drizzle is the rain you fail to notice until your hair or shoulders feel damp. In this site's reading, when you noticed the rain shows how you notice your own fatigue. Noticing at once suggests sensitivity to small changes and the ability to care for yourself early. Realising only after you were quite wet means tiredness or loneliness has quietly piled up. Japan also has a long habit of enjoying light rain as atmosphere; a famous stage line has a swordsman decide to walk on through spring rain and simply get wet. If you strolled comfortably through the drizzle, you are learning to live alongside small worries. A misty rain softening the scenery may reflect a wish to leave things vague for now. This is our speculation, but the dream may come when nothing is truly wrong yet your mood will not lift.
What to do on waking
Finish one small task you keep putting off; the quickest ones lift the damp mood the most.
