Snow / Ice / Cold in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology

Feeling, frozen. Snow softens and covers; ice hardens and preserves. Dreams of cold often track emotional winter: warmth withdrawn, something numbed to get through, a beautiful surface over stopped water. What thaws, or refuses to, is usually the dream's center.

THE CORE MEANING

Frozen emotion, the psyche in stasis, preservation through cold. Snow beautifies and covers: the Persona's white blanket over the shadow-earth. Ice is emotion hardened into rigidity. Cold is the withdrawal of psychic warmth.

VARIATIONS: CONTEXT CHANGES THE MEANING

gentle snow: Quiet covering: a period of rest, stillness, or Persona refreshment. Beautiful but cold.
blizzard: Overwhelming white-out: consciousness overwhelmed by too much undifferentiated content
ice: Frozen emotion: feelings that have hardened, relationships that have calcified, the Senex's grip
thaw: Emotion beginning to flow again after being frozen: spring after winter, feeling returning
