What does a snowflake mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about a snowflake often hints at individuality and uniqueness, as no two snowflakes are alike. That's the most simplistic interpretation.
It can also represent tranquility and peace, given the quiet and serene nature of a snowfall. Catching a snowflake in your dream, by contrast, could signify a desire to hold onto something fleeting or ephemeral. It might also indicate a need to appreciate and savor the small, beautiful moments in life. The common themes among these possible variants suggest a call for introspection and a deeper understanding of one's self.
A snowflake is a somewhat complex dream image to to give you a single, definitive meaning for. To know for certain, I'd have to really get to know the dreamer's life and current circumstances.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of a snowflake, in Freudian terms, may symbolize the unconscious mind's attempt to grapple with the fragility and transience of life.
The dream-symbol can have many permutations however. It is a manifestation of the psyche's awareness of the ephemeral nature of existence. Alternatively, catching a snowflake could represent an attempt to control or preserve these fleeting moments, a reflection of the ego's struggle against the inevitable passage of time. This could also denote a yearning for purity and innocence, as snowflakes are often associated with cleanliness and freshness. Both of these dreams underscore the human condition's paradoxical nature - our simultaneous recognition of life's fleetingness and our desire to make it everlasting.0
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of a snowflake is a spiritual reminder of your unique soul's journey. Each snowflake, like each soul, is one-of-a-kind, reflecting your individual path towards enlightenment. It's a call to embrace your distinct spiritual gifts and purpose. Catching a snowflake, however, symbolizes the divine moments of truth and clarity that are fleeting yet profound. It's a spiritual nudge to be present, to catch these moments of divine wisdom and insight before they melt away. The common themes among these dream variations are spiritual invitations to recognize your unique spiritual journey and to be mindful of the divine wisdom that is often fleeting, yet always within reach.
