Quicksand foretold loss and deceit—and if you could not work free of it, misfortunes that overwhelm. Yet to be pulled from it by one who loves you promised a faithful and worthy partner. The danger and the rescue both counted. Sometimes the dream asks what's been slowly drawing you under, and who would reach for you if you called.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quicksand, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
