Swamps
To dream of a swamp represents issues or situations that feel stagnated, or impossible to escape. There may be something in your life that makes you feel trapped or in over your head. Unbearable feelings of never getting to make progress that you are permanently stuck. Feeling stuck in situation you don't like. Feeling stuck in a job you don't like. Difficulty with getting through a problem that feels like it won't ever let go. The unbearableness of wondering if you are ever going to get through a problem while you keep trying your best anyway.
Alternatively, a swamp may reflect a risky problem that feels like you will never get away from it if you get too involved with it. Feeling stupid for having gotten involved with a problem that is hopeless.
Example: A young man dreamed of being stuck in a swamp. In waking life he was "bogged down" and unable to make progress.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of walking through a swampy river with her husband. In waking life she was experiencing some tension within her marriage as she and her husband dealt with a problem. The swampy feeling of the river may have reflected her feelings about the unbearable stagnation she felt her marriage was being tested with during the problem.
