Dreaming of Quicksand

quicksand, sinking sand · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Quicksand points to loss and deceit, unless someone pulls you out.

What happens in the dream

  • Your partner rescues you: a faithful, devoted companion, the happy sign
  • You are caught in quicksand: loss and deceit
  • You can't get out: overwhelming misfortune

How you felt

  • Anguish: the dream often reflects a situation where every move seems to make things worse
  • A need for help: perhaps a sense that you can't get out alone

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel I'm sinking?
  • Who could reach out a hand to me?
