Lastly, take into consideration whether or not you live in an area with consistent yearly snowfalls. If your area gets snowfalls every year, then some of the actions or symbols here can mean much less. For example, building a snowman could mean less if you have made snowmen often in life. The reason is that your dream may be a simple reflection or recall of your actual life experience instead of having a deeper secondary meaning.
General Snow Dream Symbols
Emotions
Snow as a state of cold emotion in Dreams
As a form of water, Snow often relates to the state of your emotions and how you feel about things. A dream featuring snow indicates the area where you feel cold and emotionally distant. Snow dreams can occur when you feel emotionally exhausted, say at the time of a breakup. The dreamworld that you have created may feature snowy weather together with your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or ex-wife/husband. The snow backdrop or weather can symbolize a period of time where your heart feels cold and alone.
Snow as a method of hiding and forgetting
Snow, as a natural concealer, can hide things that you want to be hidden. If the snow covers objects in full in your dream, you may want a particular area to be hidden or even forgotten.
Timing
Snow as a beginning of an end to a new beginning
When the dream’s background includes thawing or melting snow, it indicates that a whole new beginning is just starting. The cold winter is coming to an end, and you are ready to embrace the warmer spring once the snow melts away. The melting snow can represent new hope and personal growth.
Snow as a Magical White and Pure Dream Symbol
With the sunlight, starlight, or moonlight, the snow experience is truly magical white, and pure. The snow in this context is a sign of deep emotional peace and a sense of psychological clearance. The presence of snowflakes can also be magical to help you appreciate every little thing in life.
Snow as a dream representation of a confused feeling
The falling of snow can often block your views and line of sight. With the snow falling at full force, it may be time to slow down or even stop. Think about your future courses of action before pressing ahead against your venture or goals.
General Snow Dream Context Symbols
Snow Storm or Blizzard
Experiencing a snowstorm is a powerful symbol of your dream. With the snow falling hard, you are stuck with where you are, and you have trouble seeing your surroundings. Also, the weather will be cold, and you will often feel a hopeless feeling if you are in the midst of it without protection.
Snowstorm dreams typically represent difficult, hopeless, and loveless times in your life. Time to stop what you are doing if you feel depressed while having a snowstorm dream. Seek shelter and support from your family and friends before you gather yourself again.
If you feel cold and freezing within the snowstorm dream, it verifies that your heart is turning cold. Everything or everyone around you feels distant and isolated.
Out of Season Snow
Depending on the snowfall’s timing that you see throughout the year out of season, they can have slightly different dream meanings. However, if the snowfall is a heavy snowstorm, then the snowstorm symbolism of confusion and depression overtakes these definitions.
Seeing Snow in Summer in a Dream means that you will be pleasantly surprised.
Seeing Snow in Autumn or Fall in your dream means that you will achieve success in business. As your planned product launches or other time, sensitive projects may be able to start earlier.
Seeing Snow in Spring in your dream means that you may face minor difficulties in situations.
If the snowfall is peaceful and without a season backdrop from your dream’s mind, then it symbolizes falling in you and giving your heart to someone else.
Driving or Walking Through Snow
Moving about in a snow road or field, either in a vehicle or on foot, requires extra attention. The snows may have covered up some unseen potholes that can be. The dream is a reminder that you should be extra cautious during this time of life, move slowly, and prepare for your every move. Watch out for hidden obstacles that can put you in danger.
If the heavy snow is falling while traveling, it suggests that other factors will cloud your judgment in making decisions. Your subconscious mind is teaching you to stay calm no matter what the situation. If the time really gets bad, stop and rest before you can move again.
Dream About Eating Snow
Eating snow in the dream reflects your inner mind’s display of innocence and youth. Eating the white snow also takes a part of that purity and perfection into yourself. Perhaps you would like to be more pure and innocent in your own thoughts. You will get rid of your troubles easily and be more like your much younger self.
Plowing or Shoveling Snow
Plowing or Shoveling Snow filled roads means that you work hard and only do good deeds for others. Consider how you feel or the occasion of having to shovel the snow out of your roadway or driveway. Are you happy, angry, or tired when you do the deed? The dream may be a good place for you to reflect on your own motivations in helping others.
If you are shoveling or clearing the snow out of your own driveway, the action represents that the worst of winter is over, and you are now preparing for a new chapter in your life. However, you need to put in extra effort to prepare that starting roadway, or else it can become slippery and hard to travel.
Snow Avalanche
Like a Tidal Wave or Tsunami dream symbol, Snow Avalanche is a deadly force that can cover and destroy everything in its path. In a sense, a snow avalanche is typically triggered by your own aggressive behaviors, which cause chain effects. For example, a gunshot or explosives can effectively trigger and start the avalanche. Dreaming about snow avalanches means that you need to look out for your self-destructive behavior or habits.
The snow avalanche can also be a violent attempt at destroying and covering up any past events. Perhaps you have had some major events that happened recently, and you want to hide all traces of it and forget about your past.
Buried in Snow
Consider whether or not you can get out of the snow yourself or if the weight of the snow completely traps you. To be buried in snow can be a sign of “feeling snowed under” if you cannot get out, it represents that the responsibility is too much for you to handle. This is especially true if the snow-burying dream occurs after an Avalanche. Some big accident has happened, and you cannot escape other than becoming trapped deep under the layers of heavy snow.
If you buried yourself completely in the snow on purpose, it suggests that there are parts of you that you do not want others to know. You want to keep all or a part of yourself hidden from others and keep as a secret.
Dream About Snow Mountain
Dreams with fully snow-capped mountaintop or peaks completely foretell the fulfillment of your goals. The opposite holds if the snow does not cover the mountain peak in your dream; your wishes and goals are not likely to be fulfilled. Other tasks and distractions are likely to stop you.
If the mountain peak snow is starting to melt in the dream, it signifies a start or a transition to a whole new period of your life. The winter is ending, and you should prepare for a new beginning.
Dream About Snow’s Quality
Dirty Snow on the Ground
The Dirty or tainted snow represents that your heart and mind are no longer pure and innocent.
Dirty Snow Falling from Sky
The dream suggests that your health will take a turn for the worse.
Big Snowflakes
You will have serious discussions with your loved ones.
Pure White Snow
It symbolizes a person whom you think is perfect in life. It also symbolizes a stable and harmonious marriage.

I had a dream that I was in a car with my coworkers and my boss was driving and the conditions were really snowy and icy and we were all talking and laughing and then we came to a big slippery hill and we were unintentionally building speed and inside, the car filled with silence and feelings of anxiousness. My boss drove very carefully down the hill, just barely maintaining control of her car and hit the snow bank and bounced back to the road. No one said anything, but I was very scared and my boss looked very worried too. Then we hit an uphill slope and the car slowed to a manageable speed and all was well again. I woke up before we arrived anywhere. Thoughts??

Two weeks before he said I was asleep in the hospital room talking up a storm in my sleep the interesting part he did but understand a word and I was loud but I kept on sleeping. I don’t know what’s going on but I know dreams have meanings.

Please what does this dream really mean?
I was angry and irritated in my dream because everyone was on my room so I grabbed a cigarette and lighter and open the door to go outside to see it was snowing like furries of snow and I instantly became excited and said look y’all it’s snowing in august no one else became excited tho
I had a dream about being in the car with my partner and it was a very heavy snow storm and there was someone on a motorcycle in front of us and the snow was so bad we could barely see the lights from the bike and we were all going fast for some reason, like I know you’re supposed to drive slow in the snow but we were all speeding for some reason and it happened so fast, and all of a sudden we were supposed to stop and I see the biker fly off the bike ass we ram it and I just feel the car grinding on the bike and we’re trying the slow down and when he does I get out of the car almost falling cause of the slush in the road and I look around and there’s tiny bits of the bike everywhere but there’s no person in sight. I’m frantically walking around looking at the chunks in the road but I don’t look too close because I didn’t want to see if they’re chunks of the person or not I fall to my hands and knees in the snow and start sobbing I grab the snow with my hands and I could feel the cold. Then I woke up crying.
I had a dream my dad walked into a snowstorm and never came back about a year ago.. what does that mean?
I saw a heavy snow sealed the mountain and I was walking heading to the mountain direction
Back on June 11(th), I dreamt of two newscasters of a local station of mine standing shoulder to shoulder, and speaking to me while I was in my bed. It might have been of snow falling outside.
I tried listening to white noise while I slept because I got curious. Maybe something would happen, maybe it wouldn’t. But I think I saw something.
I played some white noise, closed my eyes, and tried to relax. At first things were pretty normal, but then it started to sound like rushing wind. Next thing I know I’m in the middle of a snowstorm, wearing winter clothes made of fur, completely surrounded by snow as far as I could see (which wasn’t very far). I swore I saw a silhouette in the distance….it was big, maybe male? Hard to tell. But it had horns, couldn’t tell if they were attached to their head or part of some kinda helmet. I tried calling out to them but they didn’t say anything.
I looked in my hand and for some reason I was holding some kind of staff. It was silver with a wolf’s head at the tip that had blue eyes. Then I looked at the floor and I was surrounded by a ring of frozen over water. When I touched it, the ice broke since it was pretty thin. I tried sticking the staff in it, and the water wasn’t that deep, only about a foot or so. I stepped over it.
All of a sudden the snow got higher. At first just up to my waist, but then it suddenly went up to my shoulders, and then it went way higher above me. It looked like I was in a hole with only a little light peeking through. The snow went back to normal just as quickly as it rose.
After that I got bored and started swinging the staff around expecting to hit the snow, but I hit something invisible. Upon closer inspection it was some kind of invisible box. I woke up before I could do anything else…..
When I went to sleep again with the white noise on, I was quickly taken back to the same place. The snow wasn’t as high as it was before, only a few inches. But the weirder thing was a new figure watching me— a large wolf, about the size of a horse, with black fur and glowing white eyes. It silently followed me around the whole time. Didn’t seem hostile at all, it even let me pat it. The first silhouette from before was still far away and didn’t respond to anything. The whole thing was so weird.
I had a dream of driving on a snowy road and then getting to a hill and then snowing even more and finding it difficult to see infront of me while driving.eventually struggling to get up the hill with my car not knowing where I am..!
I dreamed last night,
I was with my boyfriend and his mother. We are climbing height area and there was full of snow. We have one horse too.
I dreamt of a kind of fake snow that no body aknowledgeed was fake. It was in the indoors and the outdoors. It was in my middle school, with people from that time of my life, but we’re all in our 20’s there, yet still kind of behiving like children. My friend in one of the scenes of the dream was trying cover me in snow during one of the classes. I didnt notice at first but just felt something on me, as if becoming wet. When i realised I poured a bunch of it on him, dont remember what I exactly did but everyone laughed. He wouldnt sto in a manner that he usually wouldnt stop when we were kid, but i even asked him nicely afterward. When I felt the snow it felt kind of like silicone, but i didnt take note of it, although it didnt feel like it was melting or even cold.
The whole area had snow except one scene where we had to be in charge of some prisoners under the school. As we had no idea what we were doing some of them escaped and we had to lock the rest and search/report about the other ones. We didn’t see them as prisoners but the emotions were of a prison, we didn’t know what any of them did, but just didn’t want to be in trouble.
I had abdream that the snow was so heavy I could not see anything outside the window.
I dreamt I was digging a tunnel through a hill of snow to let people through from the other side who needed to go home.
I got through to the other side where I skied down. The snow was melting while I watched lots of other people skiing down. I lost my coat during this dream.
Hello, I had a dream last night. At one point I woke, went to the restroom, and went back to bed and returned to the dream. I wasnt scared in the dream. I was confused and perplexed. It was night very dark. I was at my childhood home and I was outside and my family inside (atleast my mother, i didnt see my father or sisters) there was a thick black fog or clouds that got lower and lower. I saw what I thought were snow drifts on the ground building up as I watched. I reached down confused because I didnt see snow fall and I wasnt cold. Its felt dry and soft like flour. I immediately got the impression it was ash. I could breathe fine and I didnt smell smoke. I thought that perhaps a volcano somewhere else in the world erupted and the wind carried the ash to my yard.my mother came out the back door looking at the drifts and I was touching each grabbing handfuls amazed by the sensation. I held some up to my mother showing her and telling her it’s not snow its ash. She just dismissed it and went back in the house. I was then instantly in the house looking out the back door watching the drifts of ash form and morph everything was darker and darker as the black fog got lower and heavier. I was very confused but not at all uncomfortable and breathing fine. In fact, I felt it was odd that I had no issues with choking or stinging or watery eyes. I was instantly outside again in the thickest of the black fog when it started to lift very quickly. I looked up and saw only wispy high level clouds and a clear night sky. At that moment what i though was a bird flying by turned into a fairy like person that on some type of board or skateboard that I felt was allowing them to fly. He noticed me and watching and he hopped the fence to the neighbors house and removed the board and walked to the house looking back at me as he walked away…I remarked to myself how strange that was but along with everything that occurred throughout the night was strange also, I dismissed the strangeness of all being just part of one long strange night. Integrated among this dream was parts of another dream in a desert very dry and during the day and lots of large rocks I sat on and jumped from one to another stranded with nothing else to do but jump to other rocks awaiting something or someone to arrive. My boyfriend was there whom hurt me significantly throughout the relationship in real life. I had the feeling of irritation being stranded there with him and I jumped to rocks to get away from him but he keeps moving close to me. He wanted to talk to me about the girlfriend he was with that he cheated on me in real life with. I was beyond irritated and wanted nothing more that to move away from him and whatever was going to arrive would hurry and arrive to get relief from him being around me. I remember feeling a longing for him to move near me…the feeling disgusted when he did move near me… very strange and conflicting feeling… these two very different dreams occurred interlaced together like non linear movies. Can anyone interpret these two dreams that occurred as one?
HI Jamie ~ I believe the part of your dream about your boyfriend is a reflection of what happens for all of us in our desire to be loved by someone sincerely. Your mind and reality tell you to get away from him but the part of you that wants to be loved wants him near. So the part of your emotions wanting to be loved is the part that is deceiving you, because your reality has already proven to you it is not going to happen at least not with him. The soundness of your mind and awareness of reality is what needs to control your decisions and actions concerning your realtionship with him. You need to love yourself more (and loose yourself from the painful relationship with your boyfriend) than your need to be loved by someone who does not love you. Remind yourself it is the deception of your own heart and desire to be loved that he will ever truly love you. The bible tells us the heart is deceitful above all things. . . don’t be offended, just accept the reality and live by truth and love from God’s love for you and yourself.
I have these re-occurring dreams that I am going skiing sometimes I am at the top of the mountain but notice that there a lot of bear spots and I feel in the dream that I waited to long to go skiing and now there is minimal snow coverage. Sometimes I am looking up at the mountain and see there is not enough snow to ski. What does this mean?
I had a dream about snow AND snowing, just last night.
I dreamt of bright snow on the ground as in a recent snowfall. A cousin was installing an air conditioner on the roof of my house. I directed him to the ladder and told him once he positions it I was ready to turn on the power switch. An air conditioner with fresh snowfall??

I dreamt that I was playing with you a child and it was like we sliding up and down the hill. It was so beautiful and white, that, I just kept holding on to the child, so I kept playing with her holding tight to me.. The day was so bright and sunny.
I dreamt about hurriedly passing a slow car at the top of a snow filled mountain. Once I went around him the road narrowed into a single lane. I fell put of my car and rolled down the extremely high snow filled mountain, and was able to craw my way up. That same night i had a dream about falling down a high sand mountain and having to crawl back up to the top. Please help. Thank you.
What about clearing snow off of the top of a fence, and having both deceased parents in the dream? I woke to hearing my Mother calling my name…
What if you see another person insnow firstskiing then falling doen a tunnel of snow. W a dog on the side line very peaceful .
I had a dream about deep snow last night. Our four wheel drive truck (which we do not own yet) was parked safely but my husband decided to move it and I had to climb over a hill of show to get to it. We called for help and a man came and we laughed but Of course I said to my husband why did you move the truck here and he replied wanted to see how it would drive. Snow is I think like dreaming of water and water means money. I am not certain but it may or may not be the meaning.
I dreamt I walked into a house to go up a stairway. Snow had come in through all the windows and it was above my waist. I couldn’t get upstairs. It was Snow White clean snow.
Any insight?
Thank you

I was looking for the interpretation of dreaming about it snowing on an island, but I take it as synonymous to it snowing in the summer.

I dreamt of it snowing on my wedding day. But it never snows in my country so I really don’t understand what it means in the dream everyone around me was saying what does this mean snowing in Nigeria for d first time and on my wedding day
i Dreamt that i was in the core of the mountain, and it was a celebrity pool party of some sort with jacuzzi in the middle. I decided to walk away from the party scene and went into a quiet room to think. I then remember someone approaching me and offer me their hand before everything blacks out. I then woke up laying down in a rocky tunnel with snow blocking me in from both side. I tried to calm myself and thought i’m a celebrity, they’re come look for me eventually, i gotta sustain my oxygen till then. then i felt the hand touch my feet for comfort. After a while of laying there, i had a decision to make. To dig my way out from in front and bury the person behind me even more or just wait. I decided to communicate with them and urge them to dig as i did, and we made it out. i woke up again in a gazebo and slept until daylight and I was laying by the pool.

what about being chased by something or someone through a blizzard?
When I saw the snow, it covered the ground , it was pure white and the was very bright and I was very well pleased and happy to see the snow, almost amazed.
What about seeing snow for the first time in your dream and catching it in your hands and is really excited because in real life snow don’t fall in my country. Also my two hands was covers in snow
What about walking and laughing in the snow like you are real happy and excited to see the snow falling
Seeing your wish fulfilled. Happiness with your choices. A happy love life.
