Jack Frost
Frost sprite, Frost patterns on the window
Jack Frost is the mischievous sprite of English folklore who slips out on cold nights and paints icy ferns across the windows. When he turns up in a dream, he often carries a mix of wonder and chill: something beautiful is forming, though the air around you has turned colder. A playful Jack Frost can mean a cold spell in a relationship or at work is less serious than it feels. If he nipped at your fingers or nose, someone's sharp remark may still be stinging.
