Sludge has two opposing interpretations. On one hand, it symbolizes dirty and undesirable aspects at moral and material levels. Dreaming that you walk through a muddy field signals the dreamer’s difficulties in real life.
If you dread getting stained by mud it indicates fear of becoming involved in matters that are unpleasant or turbid. In addition, clay combines soil and water.
It is a soft and malleable material, suitable for the manufacture of household utensils and for the development of creative activities. This dream’s interpretation depends on the context of the oneiric scene, the events that it unfolds, and above all, the sensations and feelings it produces on the dreamer (pleasant or unpleasant).
