What the leeches brought into view
Leeches attach to you
Contact can make a demanding situation feel difficult to escape. Think about what you were trying to do when you noticed them, especially if they made it hard to move or act freely.
Leeches in murky water
The setting can evoke unsettled feelings or confusion about where the pressure comes from. Consider what was visible before you entered the water and what became apparent only when you were in it.
Finding a boundary
What can you put down?
The useful waking question may be which demand you can reduce, share or refuse. Recall whether the dream left you wanting relief, clearer terms or a chance to recover your energy.
