Marsh

Walking through marshy ground often touches illness from overwork and worry, and displeasure from a relative's unwise conduct. The dream may ask where you're slogging through boggy, draining circumstances, and whether the soft, sucking ground underfoot is a sign to ease the strain before it pulls your health down.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for marsh, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted
