Frost

Frost often touches a beautiful cold — exile, fading pleasures, a chill that scatters what was warm even as it glitters. The dream may ask where something in your life is freezing over, what gilded pleasures you may one day be glad to leave behind, and how a love or a hope stands exposed to a cold that's lovely and unforgiving at once.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for frost, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of seeing frost on a dark gloomy morning, signifies exile to a strange country, but your wanderings will end in peace.

To see frost on a small sunlit landscape, signifies gilded pleasures from which you will be glad to turn later in life, and by your exemplary conduct will succeed in making your circle forget past escapades.

To dream that you see a friend in a frost, denotes a love affair in which your rival will be worsted. For a young woman, this dream signifies the absence of her lover and danger of his affections waning. This dream is bad for all classes in business and love.
