House
Self, psyche, identity
Snow
Purity, stillness, emotional coldness
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
Snow
Snow represents purity, stillness, and the covering or concealment of what lies beneath. Fresh snow suggests new beginnings and a clean slate. Melting snow indicates the thawing of emotions or the revelation of hidden truths. Being trapped in snow reflects emotional numbness or isolation. Snowfall can be peaceful (gentle transformation) or threatening (blizzard, burial).
