Quicksand

Sinking sand, Sinking in sand, Stuck in quicksand

Quicksand looks like solid ground until it starts pulling you down. In a dream it points to a situation that seemed simple but gets harder the more you struggle, like a commitment, a habit or a tangled conversation. The surprising lesson is that frantic movement makes things worse. Patience, and a hand from someone else, are what pull you free. If you walked around the quicksand, you're spotting trouble before it catches you.
