Psychology
A snowman grows as a small ball is rolled, reflecting effort that builds bit by bit — or trouble that swells when ignored. Happily building one suggests work bearing fruit; a melting snowman may show fear that joy or success will not last.
Folklore and history
Japanese snowmen usually stack two balls, named for their resemblance to a Daruma, while Western ones are often said to have three. The Daruma is a good-luck figure of falling down and rising again, and some see that wish in the snowman too.

This site's view
In this site's view, who you built it with changes the warmth. Family or friends mean nostalgia for shared joy; building alone, effort no one sees. If it melted by morning, it was not lost but a memory that soaked into the ground in another form.
Going deeper: our reading
Besides snowmen, Japan has the snow rabbit: a small mound of snow with red nandina berries for eyes and leaves for ears. For those raised where snow is rare, building a snowman at all may have been a special event. In this site's reading, how you made the face mirrors your heart. Carefully adding eyes, nose and mouth suggests a wish to give your efforts a clear shape and expression. A snowman with no face may mean you have not yet grasped what your accumulated work means. A snowman that seemed to smile hints your efforts will be rewarded; a sad-looking one may be your heart asking you to be kinder to your hardworking self. A snowman that moved may signal a plan starting to proceed on its own. This is our speculation, but this dream may show the heart missing the carefree play of childhood.
What to do on waking
Look back on one small habit you keep. If it has grown even slightly since last week, your snowman is growing.
