Thaw
Thawing ice often touches an affair that has worried you soon turning to profit and pleasure, with prosperity in thawing ground, though slushy snow can mean trouble. The dream may ask where something long frozen and stalled is loosening, and whether the gradual softening is releasing you toward gain or into a messy difficulty underfoot.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for thaw, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing ice thawing, foretells that some affair which has caused you much worry will soon give you profit and pleasure.
To see the ground thawing after a long freeze, foretells prosperous circumstances.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a thaw, and walking in splashy snow, foretells trouble and losses: if a young fellow dreams that he walks through splashy snow to go a courting, it is a sign that he will quarrel with his sweetheart.
