  • Melted ice cream: a pleasure you were counting on will fizzle out before it happens
  • Eating ice cream: things you've already begun will go well
  • Dropping your ice cream in front of someone: unkindness that comes back on you
  • Sour ice cream: an unexpected problem will spoil your fun

How you felt

  • Pleasure: the dream may reflect a need for sweetness and reward
  • Disappointment: you may fear a joy won't last

Ask yourself

  • What small treat would do me good?
  • Do I wait too long to enjoy the good moments?
