Snow
Snow piling up softly is a good omen of abundance and happy occasions. The first snowfall, or a world turned white, means old matters settled and a fresh start, and leaving the first footprints in the snow means going first down a path no one has taken. But slushy melting snow, or losing your way in a blizzard, hints at delay and confusion — better to wait for it to clear than to rush.
Snow settling deep is a favourable dream of abundance and good occasions. A year of heavy snow was long held to bring a good harvest the next, so snow piling up was read as fortune. The cleanness of white also makes it a symbol of beginning again. Snow that melts or drives, however, means something else.
Readings by Situation
Meeting the first snow, or a world covered white
It means old matters put in order and a fresh start. A landscape under white was seen as the past being covered over and a new board laid out. If the dream left you lifted, it is read especially well.
Leaving the first footprints in snow
It means going first down a road no one has taken. If you are starting something new, read it as a sign that there is an advantage in being early. Clear prints mean that road stays behind you.
Walking on slush that has begun to melt
It hints at delay and confusion. However tidy the surface looks, your feet are in fact sinking, so it is better to check on progress with your own eyes.
Losing your way in a blizzard
A sign that you have lost your bearings. It was read as better to wait for the weather to clear than to hurry. If a judgement can be deferred, deferring it suits this dream.
Snow is fortune when it piles and delay when it melts. Either way it is a symbol that only shows itself with time, so it is not read as telling you to decide anything right now.
