Mud

Muddy water, Quicksand

Mud often turns up in dreams when life feels messy and sticky, or when a situation is dragging on and slowing you down. If you were stuck in it, you may be frustrated that you can't move forward as quickly as you'd like. Mud on your shoes or clothes can be a sign that something unpleasant has stuck to you, like a remark you can't shake off. Playing in mud is a different story: it's fun, freeing and a reminder not to take everything so seriously.
