Just as water symbolizes the emotional life in general, ice and icebergs in dreams represent frozen emotions. Only when the ice melts can water flow.
If you are falling through ice in your dream, this suggests a breakthrough of emotion, although the experience will be uncomfortable. An iceberg denotes a significant problem that is blocking your progress in waking life. Could it symbolize a difficult problem you have put on ice or tried to avoid but now have no option but to confront? If you dreamed of walking carefully over a frozen lake or pond, could the message have been that you are walking on thin ice in waking life or that someone is making your feel so vulnerable in waking life that you are treading carefully around them?
The tip of an iceberg reveals only a small part of a larger mass; in dreams, therefore, an iceberg may symbolize the visible part of a problem, acting as a warning to the dreamer to think more deeply about something. In addition, icebergs are impressive and beautiful, so their hidden depths may be overlooked.
If an iceberg appears in your dream, ask yourself if you have hidden your feelings so well that people aren’t aware of them. Are you hiding how you really feel? On the other hand, are you being icy towards someone or is someone giving you the cold shoulder?
