If you dream of skating on ice, you may be treading on unstable ground financially or professionally — a job or something valuable could be at risk. Falling through the ice suggests that those you turn to for guidance may not have your best interests at heart. Watching others skate hints at gossip or social entanglement that could link your name to controversy. Seeing skates alone signals friction among the people in your circle. Young people skating on roller skates, however, is a positive omen of vitality and the joy of contributing to the happiness of those around you.
