Dreaming about Melting ice
Ice that is actively thawing in the dream, rather than holding solid. The shift from frozen to flowing typically changes the reading from suspension to release.
Common interpretations
Jungian
Melting ice in the Jungian frame often reads as previously held content beginning to move again. What had been preserved in stillness is returning to the flow of psychic life. The reading is generally hopeful, though the process is rarely tidy; thaw tends to bring up what the freeze was holding.
Watching a frozen river break apart in spring light. The typical reading is a long-held feeling or memory becoming available to the dreamer again, with all the disturbance that movement brings.
Freudian
When melting ice appears in an unsettling dream, a Freudian reading often points to the return of repressed material. What had been held still is no longer being held, and the discomfort in the dream typically reflects the conscious self's reaction to that loosening rather than any quality of the underlying content itself.
Ice in a glass melting faster than seems possible while the dreamer watches. The typical reading is something previously contained that is now surfacing on its own timeline, not the dreamer's.
