An interpretation of quicksand dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl".

Quicksand in a dream can represent the potential for danger. It implies being careful about the next steps you take in your life. Quicksand slowly sucks a person in—what a terrific analogy for something that slowly consumes or overwhelms you. For example, a bad relationship or work situation you can’t escape, or an addiction, are things that slowly consume you. An extramarital affair can suck you in. Also consider the possibility of quicksand as symbolism for being stuck in a situation or place in your life. For example, you graduate from college but don’t find a job in the profession for which you trained. Or at work you know you can’t advance until the person ahead of you quits or retires, and that’s not likely to happen anytime soon. You feel stuck in your life. R
