A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle

From The Grande Temple of Jing

Sometimes it will aid you,

when time is passing by,

Sometimes it might blind you,

when wind blows hot and dry.

Sometimes it will trap you,

and quickly pull you down,

Sometimes it will make a bed,

where sleep those who have drowned.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
