Swamp

To see a swamp in your dream, symbolizes aspects of yourself that are repressed and dark. You may be feeling insecure.

The dream may also be a pun on feeling swamped from work, a relationship, or other emotional burden.

To dream that you are walking through a swampy area, foretells that you will be find yourself in an adverse situation.

Disappointments in love may also be implied from this symbol. You will suffer much displeasure from unwise conduct of those around you.

On a less negative note, walking through a swamp, denotes that you will experience prosperity and pleasure, but through dangerous and intriguing means.
