Bog
A bog in a dream is ground that will not bear weight — and the old books read it as burdens under which all effort to rise feels useless, illness and worry pressing down. The dream tends to touch the sense of being mired, sinking when we try to climb, and to ask what is holding our feet and sapping our strength.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bog, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Bogs, denotes burdens under whose weight you feel that endeavors to rise are useless. Illness and other worries may oppress you.
