An interpretation of winter dreams

An interpretation of winter dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A wintry setting in a dream can symbolize something in decline, such as health or fortune. It can symbolize a feeling of dreariness or a time of hibernation. You might be conserving your resources. See: Bears It can mean you are experiencing hardship, especially if you dream about trudging through snow or getting blasted by wintry weather. Anything that hinders travel in a dream can symbolize something that hinders you in life. Snowstorms are a common metaphor for having difficulty in life—personal difficulty or depression, or hassles and delays. See: Blizzards Then again, snow has good connotations, too. Some people associate it with the Christmas holidays. It’s fresh and new, even pure and innocent—pure as driven snow. Waking up in the morning to see a landscape covered in virgin snow can awaken your sense of wonder and bring out the kid in you (build a snowman, anyone?). It can mean you are excited by new possibilities. You’re starting over. You have a fresh outlook. Winter can characterize feelings, emotions and personal situations that are cold or frosty, or the cold feeling of depression or unhappiness. See: Blizzards, Depression, Ice A frozen winter setting can mean you feel “frozen out” or distant. Relationships are described in terms of hot and cold. If you are “out in the cold” or “left in the cold,” it means excluded or forsaken. Think along the lines of something that can make you cold inside: the thought of your mate leaving you, fear of death or declining health, rejection, or finding out you failed a test. Those situations can be symbolized by snow and cold. A cold house in a dream can symbolize emotional distance. Life lacks emotion, personal warmth, or vitality. It can characterize a relationship with someone shown in the home with you in the dream. A cold feeling accompanies feelings of fear. When an illness strikes, you can get the cold feeling that your life is changing in a bad way. It can relate to the feeling of something that is inevitable, such as the cold realization that an important relationship is irreparably damaged, or a course of events is leading to an unwanted conclusion, or a goal or ambition will not be reached. Take the idea further and feeling cold can be associated with fear of exposure, because you can be cold when exposed to cold weather. You might fear that a hidden part of yourself will be revealed, or that actions or behaviors you have tried to conceal will be revealed. Winter cold can symbolize lack of activity or inspiration. No progress is made. Another possibility for the feeling of being cold relates to physical condition. You really are cold! Perhaps a blanket fell off the bed while you were sleeping, or a window was left open, allowing cold air in. Dreams translate physical sensations into imagery, so in such a situation you might dream about a wintry landscape or walk-in cooler. See also: Blizzards, Cars, Ice, North, Storms, Weather, White
