Dreaming of snow: meaning in Korea

In Korea, snow in a dream is a blanket of good luck: it cleans, covers the old and announces a prosperous year, as the saying goes.

What they say in Korea 눈꿈

Korea has a well-known farmers' saying: when it snows a lot in winter, the year will bring a good harvest. That is why, in kkumhaemong, dreaming of clean white snow is said to announce prosperity, purity and a good start. Seeing a snowy landscape is read as a new, spotless chapter in which you can write your own story. If snow falls gently on you, the reading speaks of blessings and good news. On top of that, the first snowfall, cheotnun (첫눈), is very romantic in Korea: if you are with someone special at that moment, love is said to come true. So this dream also has a romantic touch.

Depending on the details

if snow falls on you

Gentle blessings arriving quietly. Good news, affection from people close to you or a calm kind of luck that builds up over days.

if you watch the first snowfall with someone

In Korea, the most romantic dream of all. It is read as a love that grows, or a very special friendship that becomes even closer.

if the snow melts

A problem softening on its own, or the end of a cold stretch. After the thaw comes spring: something new is about to sprout.

And luck?

After this dream, a Korean might make a wish, as people do at the first snowfall, or text someone special.

In other traditions

In the West snow in dreams is tied to purity, calm, isolation or frozen emotions. Depending on context, it can be read as a fresh start or as emotional coldness.
