Dreaming of Ice
Feeling that has set — preserved, but no longer moving.
The traditional read
Ice meant a cold turn in fortune or in a relationship.
What it usually means now
Ice is emotion held below the point where it can flow. Walking on thin ice is a very direct read on precariousness. Ice that's melting is the more hopeful dream: something is finally thawing, usually something you froze on purpose.
But symbols don't dream alone
A dictionary entry can't see the room, the person standing in it, or how it ended. Describe the whole dream and get a reading that uses ice as context, not as the answer.
