Islamic Interpretation
Sinking into, being stuck in, or walking through mire in a dream signifies fear, distress, hardship, and trials. The same meaning applies to becoming muddied by rainwater or walking through rain-soaked ground. If a sick person sees mire in his dream, it indicates prolonged illness, while emerging from the mire signifies recovery. Walking in mire may also represent imprisonment, poverty, or suffering caused by sins and neglect of religious obligations. In some contexts, mire symbolizes stagnation, breakdown of communication, attachment to the past, pride in wealth, or even apostasy. If the mud changes color from black to red in a dream, it indicates moving from one land to another or from one wife to another. Seeing mire during a drought signifies forthcoming rain. Mire found inside a well represents an inheritance, the emergence of blessings, or meanings related to what a well signifies in dreams.
