snow dream analysis

I remember 4 vivid scenes from my snow dream, I was my current age in all of them.
First I remember looking down at the ground and being amazed that how frozen it was and how I could walk on it without falling. The frozen ground had an almost marble-lized appearance to it. Besides the frozen ground, all other snow was white. Another scene had me on one side of the street observing some kids on the other side playing in the snow. One of those kids seemed familiar to me but I couldn't place who it was (but it was a girl). Third scene had me look up and I saw a driving snow storm; not exactly a blizzard but it was falling pretty heavy at a slant. The 4th scene was me running home to change so I could go out with a friend in the snow. Funny thing is this friend was sitting at home with my talking in Spanish and I remember thinking wow, I didn't know he spoke Spanish. I then woke up.

From my research on my snow dream:

Snow is water and water typically represents the emotions and/or the unconscious and/or the intuition. Since snow is frozen one might conclude that snow therefore represents an emotional coldness or a kind of emotional paralysis. Or one might believe that snow might mean that the intuition is somehow blocked--information may be received but the ability to trust it or act upon it is missing.

Something else to consider when you are interpreting your snow dream is the condition of the snow. Is it white? Is it a nice snow or is it a driving blizzard or a serious snowstorm? Is the snow falling at an odd time of year? Snow that is brown or off color may indicate feelings of innocence lost. Snowstorms or blizzards may indicate feeling emotionally overwhelmed or unable to see one's way through a situation such as the way one might feel if caught in a 'blinding snowstorm'.

There is another characteristic to snow--its color. Snow is white. White is often a symbol of purity. In alchemy, white was the symbolic color of purification: the color of having stripped oneself bare of all that was no longer needed to move on to a higher level of existence. In dreams white may symbolize new beginnings. It may also be symbolically related to baptism which is another symbol of the beginning of new life. Looked at from this vantage point, snow might symbolize a new beginning, a new relationship not only to one's emotions and intuition but to one's Self. Remember though, white is a beginning color--this is the start of something new, not the completion of the process.

I need to trust my intuition, my inner voice and accept that I can do whatever is going to come to me. Before I left home, I wrote this:

"Deep down inside when I let Sammie speak and I really listen to her, I can hear her say I can do this. I know I can do this. It's just so hard."
