What does dreaming of Snow mean?
Snow in dreams carries the quality of a covering that changes everything it touches without itself being anything other than water. Jung's attention to how landscapes transform in dreams extended to how snow alters a known scene: familiar shapes become unfamiliar, colours are reduced, sound is absorbed. The dream-landscape under snow is the same as it always was and also entirely different, which tends to reflect a particular kind of psychic situation where the essentials remain but their surface appearance has shifted significantly. Fresh snow may suggest a kind of clearing — the sense that a landscape has been returned to something clean and unmarked. Deep snow may reflect a weight that has accumulated quietly over time and is now affecting movement. A thaw may mark the return of feeling or energy to what has been held in a wintry state. In dream language, snow rarely refers to literal cold. More often it speaks of the kind of quiet that settles over an inner landscape between one season and the next.
