Ice Skating
To dream of ice skating represents feelings about maintaining balance, grace, or control while navigating uncertain situations that are "frozen", stuck, or inactive with nobody to stop you. Confidence and ease about "frozen "issues that you can temporarily enjoy "sliding by" on. Playing or having enjoyment with the frozen status of a situation.
Negatively, dreaming of ice skating may represent temporary "frozen" issues that make you feel good "sliding by" on responsibilities because you feel good beating the system or don't believe that you can get caught. Playing behind an authority figure's or bully's back when they temporarily can't control you.
To dream of ice skating backwards represents total confidence or security that you don't have to think of being safe or pay attention to your actions while enjoying a temporary situation that's in a "frozen", stuck, or inactive status.
Example: A woman dreamed of ice skating. In waking life, she was pregnant and enjoying time off work. She was scared to tell anyone at work that she liked her time off because she believed she might get fired or have more responsibilities pushed on her by employers. In this case, the ice skating may have reflected her feelings about gracefully navigating and enjoying not having to do any work during the "frozen" or paused state of her professional life without revealing her true feelings to anyone at work.
Example 2: A person dreamed of ice skating with their best friend. In waking life, their best friend stopped being their friend. In this case, the ice skating may have reflected their feelings about trying to maintain balance and composure while navigating the uncertain and emotionally 'frozen' state of their friendship by having fun without them and not speaking negatively behind their friend's back because they believed the problem between them was only temporary.
