A swamp provides a dream setting that allows you to explore feelings (water) and what is living or growing beneath the surface of awareness. Many times when you are attempting to become more authentic or get in touch with old feelings - you will find yourself walking in water that is knee deep. This portrays how your inner landscape is allowing for the free flow of feelings as you move toward renewal. See also Quicksand and Mud under Landscape and Scenery.
