Dreaming of snow
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Snow in its season foretells rest and a pause that profits you, the fields sleeping before the yield. To walk on firm snow denotes safe passage through a cold stretch of affairs.
Drawn down, it warns of Snow out of season warns of delays and coldness where warmth was owed, a friendship or a trade gone chill. A house snowed in signals affairs suspended longer than you'd like.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Snow is feeling stilled and made quiet, the loud psyche given a season of rest, everything covered so it can sleep and change underneath. Fresh snow no one has walked on is a clean inner page.
Drawn down, it warns of Endless snow is the emotional life frozen at the surface, warmth withdrawn so long the ground forgot it. Being buried in it points to a numbness the dreamer has begun to mistake for peace.
