What are possible meanings for dreams of ice?

In simplest terms, ice is frozen liquid, and that association offers many interpretive directions to explore that have nothing directly to do with frozen liquid. Instead it’s a physical representation of a personal situation.

Frozen can refer to lack of emotion or compassion—a person is “cold.” See: Emotions

When people are tense or distant, the environment is said to be frozen. It can mean a situation is at a standstill, as in the phrase, “The negotiations are frozen.”

You get a cold feeling in some places and around some people.

Ice can indicate feeling unwelcome, as in the terms “frosty reception” and “cold shoulder.”

Ice is slippery and can symbolize a slippery situation. Something trips you up. You lose your internal sense of balance.

Movement in a dream generally symbolizes movement in your life, so ice implies a “slippery situation,” or moving cautiously forward with something.

Encountering ice while driving can symbolize loss of control—of yourself, your life, a situation. Or it can connect with overreaction, because there’s nothing to do while sliding on ice in a car but hope you regain control before crashing—but if you overreact you make the situation worse. See: Cars

Walking on ice can connect with a physical condition affecting your gait. Injury can affect the way you walk. The short, shuffling steps a person takes when walking on ice are similar to how a person can walk when an injury or infirmity affects gait.

Walking on thin ice can symbolize being extra careful to avoid mistakes, breaking rules, or stepping over proverbial lines.

Freezing temperatures are associated with delays and dangerous travel conditions. It raises the possibility for danger in travel, to health, and to state of mind or mood, as in the term “winter blues.” See: Blizzards, Winter

It can mean now’s not the time to do something. Wait till conditions are better.

Freezing conditions are a way of describing war. While most dreams are personal and not related to geopolitics, dreams love to make connections between related ideas, and perhaps in some way a dream with these themes describes a state of conflict. See: War

Freezing in a dream can reflect a physical state. Maybe the covers fell off your body while you slept, and you got cold, or you hear wind howling outside as you sleep and know it’s cold out there, or you have the chills from fever or illness.

My grandma passed over the summer. I saw her in a dream, she told me what death felt like, and then I woke up to a patting on my head. Then, while fully awake, another pat on my head

Me and my grandma were close, and we always made each other laugh. I have a lot of her traits. I have her curly hair and her blue eyes- Traits that no one else in my family have. I had a dream last night where I saw her walking, I went up to her
and started to talk to her. She said she loves and misses me, and then she kissed me on the cheek and gave me a hug. After a few minutes, her skin started to molt/bruise/rot like how a body does a while after dying and she said "Oh, looks like it's time for me to go." I said "What is it like on the other side?" and she said "Cold." I jokingly replied "at least it's better than... you know... it being really hot" and she thought for a moment and said "Eh, I guess so." She went into this cylindrical metal case filled with ice, smiled and waved to me, crossed her arms, and the case closed. I felt a patting on my head twice and woke up. My heart was beating and I just stared at the wall, motionless. I felt another pat on my head. It was really weird, and I think that might have been her. It was a nice but very odd experience

Ok so super weird, never even thought about something like this

Ok, backstories for what I gathered it this dream it was weirdly vivid, this dream takes place in a world where there are humans and neko’s, but humans are racist towards the neko’s, anyways it start with me in a park bent over looking at the flowers, this dream was really vivid, the color of the flowers were blue and yellow they were mixed I think, but I got up and turned around I see a neko in a cloak I think, it was either a cloak or a Japanese outfit, she touched my chest with two fingers and my entire body was encased with ice, then a split second later the neko was gone and the ice shattered like glass, but she was behind me, I was about get up and then my neck started to feel extremely cold, then I think I was knocked out, but when I woke up I got up and headed home, but I saw people giving me weird looks and whispering to each other, i never made it home though, this whole bit is a bit of a blur but I remember I got it a fight, I crossed a little bridge then after that everything was clear again and I was at a friends house, he didn’t know who I was and I was super confused, I told him it was me, and he squinted his eyes and said “Logan?”, I said yeah and he said,”you do notice you have ears and a tail, right?”at first I thought he was joking, until I looked behind me and saw that I had a tail, I looked in a mirror and saw cat ears, I told him I couldn’t go back to my normal job, he agreed with me

Have you dreamt you're a different person?

Very rarely I do and usually I'm not too different. But this time round I dreamt that I was a huge, tall and tanned male (I looked Turkish and I'm EA) and in that dream I witnessed a car driving on ice and the ice broke so when the driver tried to escape he got frozen and died a painful death

Ice

I was on a vast, flat sheet of ice that seemed to go on forever. I was with other people struggling in the cold, moving to keep warm and find warmth. We found an isolated, empty warehouse and within it found a desolate caravan. I looked inside to find two dead, frozen bodies - one a man, one a woman, but I only remember the man's face of despair. We were looking for ways to get warmth when I had the idea to keep warm from the engine of the van. It worked but I managed to screw things up somehow and the engine set on fire. Everyone was annoyed at me as it was our only hope for survival. Then my dream took a dramatic shift as I became angry and frustrated and also felt like I wanted to be alone. While everyone was outside of this warehouse, I closed the door. They were trying to get in, dying of cold. I realised my stupidity and tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. End .

I asked God about the meaning of life?

I just had a semi-lucid dream where I was winter hiking with a photographer and my two cousins and we stumbled upon a small hole in the snow/ice that led to an enormous lair/dimension.

A godly statue that was in this lair thing started flashing light and eventually started moving. He made is way up to us; I said hi to him and asked him how he was, and he waved at me peacefully.

I then asked him, “What’s the meaning of life?” He didn’t answer or stop, he just continued walking up to us.

Once he got to us, he slowly started winding up the right side of his body, and he says, “The meaning of life… is THIS (slaps me with his ginormous right hand)”.

Everything around me (and myself) breaks into colourful fractals. It’s like with this one slap, he destroys the entire world.

After a few seconds of falling backward/downward into these small fractals, and hearing screams around me, I awoke in my bed.

Any possible ideas of what this might mean, if anything?! Did I piss off this God when I asked him the meaning of life, or was that the meaning of life?!
