Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would look at what the cold covers over, often a warmth held back or a desire kept in check. Frost can stand for a coolness toward someone the dreamer once felt close to. The chill is the clue.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung might read frost as a pause, a stillness laid over growth while the deeper work goes on unseen. It can mark a season of waiting rather than an end. The white covering hides what is only sleeping.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Continuity ties frost to waking feelings of distance, hesitation, or a quiet that has settled over things. It often follows a cooling between people. The image carries the mood more than any single event.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
Frost giants and winter spirits filled the old stories, standing for the long cold that the world had to outlast. Frost marked the year's turning toward dormancy. It spoke of patience and of warmth held in reserve.
