Psychology
Frost appears as fine ice crystals on cold nights. In dreams it may reflect cooling feelings in a relationship, or a mind bracing for a harder winter ahead. Crunching across frost columns may show the ability to find small joys in cold times.
Folklore and history
The eleventh month of the old Japanese calendar was called the frost month, frost marking winter's door. For farmers, late frost could ruin crops. The Chinese classic I Ching says that when you tread on frost, solid ice is coming — a well-known lesson in reading small signs of great change.

This site's view
In this site's view, a frost dream says there is still time. Frost is not ice, only winter's notice. Quietly watching a frosted garden means you have already sensed a small chill in a bond or your health. Footprints other than yours across the frost may mean you sense someone quietly leaving first.
Going deeper: our reading
Frost is said to form most readily on calm, clear, cold nights. With no clouds to hold the ground's warmth like a blanket, the chill deepens quietly, and by morning everything is white. It is a little surprising that a peaceful clear night gets colder than a stormy one. In this site's reading, a frost dream can show a cooling that progresses beneath a calm surface—no quarrel, no big event, yet fewer words exchanged with someone. If you wrote with your finger on a frosted window, words you want to say are still inside you. If frost sparkled in the morning sun, you can find beauty even in coldness. This is our speculation, but walking alone over frost columns suggests you are growing able to enjoy quiet time in your own way.
What to do on waking
Have an extra warm drink today. If contact with someone has thinned, send a brief greeting before the chill deepens.
