Think of all the wider usages of the word "Cold" such as "He gave me the cold shoulder" or "We are left out in the cold." dreams will use cold weather in this type of metaphorical way
Cold in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the english language. For instance a "Cold" dream may simply translate into the word "Ignore" and the dream capture the thought "He completely ignored me". In that case the dream uses the popular phrase " he gave me the cold shoulder" as a metaphor for someone ignoring the dreamer. In that way a dream which seemed irrelevant and bizarre is shown to capture a thought which pinpointed the dreamers key thoughts the day before.
