Quagmire
A quagmire — soft ground that swallows the foot — often touches an inability to meet obligations, with others' failures felt by you. The dream may ask where you're sinking under what you owe or promised, and whether the treacherous footing beneath you is one you can struggle free of or are settling deeper into.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quagmire, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being in a quagmire, implies your inability to meet obligations. To see others thus situated, denotes that the failures of others will be felt by you. Illness is sometimes indicated by this dream.
