Re: dream interpretation
Does this help at all?
"To dream of a turtle represents emotional lock-down or a desire for safety that overrides all else. You don’t want to do anything except deal with a specific problem until the threat is gone. A wish for perfect safety.
A turtle may reflect dangerous situations or very sensitive issues that want to do everything you can to avoid. A turtle may also be a sign that you are afraid to reach out or that you’re “building a wall” around your life in some way.
Turtles have a tendency to show up in the dreams of very sick people or those facing death. This is because their health problem is so dangerous that they feel the need to isolate themselves from anything that could compromise their sensitive state. The turtle’s tendency to hide in their shell then reflects concern for their problems at the expense of all else." Taken from Dream Bible Dream Dictionary - Search Results
