Dreaming of a turtle – symbolism
For centuries, turtles have been treated as magical animals in cultures around the world. Thus, the turtle is one of the zodiac signs in Mayan culture.
But the connection between the turtle and the horoscope does not stop there. Namely, the turtle is one of only four signs in the Vujkü horoscope.
The turtle is an animal that has played an important role in the legends that speak of the creation of the world and is highly respected by all peoples, including Indians, Japanese, Arians, etc.
First of all, because the turtle is traditionally presented as a symbol of wisdom, peace and protection.
You’ve probably noticed that some people keep turtles as pets. And many of them have turtle-shaped ornaments due to their belief in the previously mentioned symbolism of this animal.
Patience is a basic trait and the first association with turtles.
And because of the shell they possess, we often associate their house with protection and shelter, which when transferred to the symbolism of a dream, the turtle is interpreted as a kind of spiritual or physical retreat.
Slow is not necessarily bad, as many think. It was in small steps that the great changes on the world level throughout our history were started. Every slow step has great energy and strength in itself.
Namely, the balance as we know it, is built on the principle of opposites, so it is no wonder that slow steps bring great changes and great power.
That is why the turtle is an animal that calls for fulfillment of balance and the search for balance, teaches you to withdraw and indulge in meditation.
Dreaming of a turtle as a symbol of withdrawal or shyness

Dreaming of a turtle as a symbol of patience
Are you patient enough? It is dreams with turtles that subconsciously indicate a problem to you. Are you trying to skip certain steps and speed things up in your life?
Stop and reconsider your need to chase stuff. Some things will not happen at this moment, no matter how much you try to speed them up.
Indulge in the present moment, and things happen in life at their own pace. You can’t control how fast life goes. At least not for now.
