Dreaming of Ice

ice, frozen, ice rink · mostly negative, with some happy exceptions

Ice mostly foretells distress, jealousy and fragile pleasures, though gliding easily over it means overcoming a difficulty.

What happens in the dream

  • Walking on ice: you're risking comfort and respect for fleeting pleasures
  • Bathing in ice water: something unexpected will spoil a pleasure you were looking forward to
  • Ice: distress, and spiteful people trying to spoil your work; another reading sees a faithful, good-tempered sweetheart
  • Ice floating in clear water: jealous, bad-tempered friends will disturb your happiness
  • Slipping and falling on ice: bad luck
  • Skating easily over smooth ice: a difficulty that you'll get through in style
  • Making ice: selfishness could make you waste your life
  • Sliding or skating on and on: an unprofitable pursuit and worrying commitments
  • Icicles on the eaves, a fence or trees: hardship, health worries and darkening hopes
  • Eating ice or drinking ice water: illness, often from overindulgence

How you felt

  • Coldness or isolation: the dream often reflects a relationship that has cooled
  • Insecurity: you may feel you're on slippery ground

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel I'm walking on thin ice?
  • Which relationship has cooled, and why?
