Swamp

Swamps, Marsh, Bog, Wetlands

Still water, hanging moss and the croak of hidden frogs make a swamp feel heavy and mysterious. A dream swamp mirrors murkiness: a situation where motives are unclear and it's hard to tell solid ground from soft. Wading through one suggests you're working your way through a tangle of details, one careful step after another. Seen from a boardwalk, though, a swamp is full of life that thrives where others wouldn't. Feeling swamped is the everyday version of this dream: too much arriving all at once.
