Ice in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Frozen water, Glacial ice, Frozen over

What it means

Coldness, hardness and indifference.

Something solid during hard times but fragile under pressure.

Scripture attributes the forming of ice to God's own hand — He gives His ice like morsels, and by His breath frost is given.

✦ When it is positive

  • Ice in water during heat, representing refreshing
  • The formation of ice as a display of God's power over creation

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Coldness of heart and indifference
  • Ice melting under heat, representing weakness under pressure
  • A frozen environment, representing conditions hostile to life

How to tell the difference

Context decides entirely: ice in a glass during heat refreshes, but ice covering ground in a cold dream represents harsh conditions not conducive to survival. Note whether the ice is melting, holding weight, or trapping something beneath it.
