In ancient dream lore, the turtle seen in a dream represents: balance, health, potential, faith, loyalty and above all protection. The slow pace of the turtle also indicates that progress will be made but it may take time to achieve your goals. The turtle can appear in your dreams in a wide range of ways, which I outline below in a question and answer format.

  • Origin of the Dream Catcher Long ago in the ancient world of the Ojibwe Nation, the Clans were all located in one general area of that place known as Turtle Island. This is the way that the old Ojibwe storytellers say how Asibikaashi (Spider Woman) helped Wanabozhoo bring giizis (sun) back to the people.
  • There are a variety of interpretations for Turtle & Tortoise in the dream space.

Did you dream about a turtle lately? What does it mean when you dream about turtles? If you don’t have a turtle, or if you have not interacted with a turtle lately, then there is a lot of possible meaning being your dream. Think about exactly what occurred in your dream. Turtles are often good luck and represent positive changes in your life.

What Does It Generally Mean When You Dream About Turtles?

If you simply have dreams about turtles that are not doing anything special, there can be several meanings behind this.

To start, turtles can symbolize maternity in a dream. If you are pregnant, or if you are wishing to have a child, this may be the reason why you have dream about turtles. They not only symbolize fertility but maternity as well.

If you have a rather closed personality and are much more reserved in your relationships with others, this could also be the reason why you dream about turtles. The turtle could also be a sign of you needing to open up to changes in your life.

Turtles overall are symbols of a long life, wisdom, and loyalty. These could be qualities that you possess or things that you need to work on.

If there are instances in your life where you may be rushing, such as in a relationship or in your career, dreams about turtles may indicate that you should slow down and be patient.

If you touched the turtle in your dream, this could be a sign that something will take place soon that will make you happy. Or, it could mean that you need to change the way you approach things in your life.

Dreams about turtles could also indicate that there are good things waiting for you. Such dreams tend to be good luck. Be willing to take risks in your life in order to see what’s in store for you.

Dreaming of Turtles Attacking You

Now, we will get into what it means when you dream about turtles in other circumstances. You may see dreams of different ways a turtle will attack you.

If the attacking turtle in your dream has bitten you, beware. This could mean that someone in your life will betray you. The reason for this is that you might have kept them waiting for too long on an important decision.

If you had dreams about snapping turtles, this is a symbol of any dreams or goals that you had that were left unfulfilled, or it means that there is something in your life that frustrates you.

Dreams about attacking turtles could also symbolize that you avoid confrontation and that there are important issues you should no longer ignore in your personal life.

If you catch a turtle in your dream, this is an indication that you areinvolved in an argument or power struggle with someone who is not asresourceful as you. It’s a sign that you will win the argument.

Finally, if you have a dream about a turtle that is chasing you, thismeans that you need to face your problems and no longer hide from them.

Dreams About Turtles Dying

It is possible that you may also have a dream about turtles dying. While death may make you fearful, this is not always a bad sign, especially when the dream involves a turtle.

If you simply saw a dead turtle in your dream, this means that you need to be more outgoing and social. Don’t be so closed off in social settings.

If the turtle in your dream was hurt, it symbolizes the desire that you have to gain the respect of others. It could also be a symbol of you being disappointed in or having doubts about something.​

Turtle

Dreaming about a turtle that is on its back indicates emotional or physical problems that you or someone else may have. If you know this is about someone else, the dream is telling you to help them. And if it’s about you, ask for help from those you trust.

Accidentally killing a turtle in your dreams is a sign that you need to take a step back and be patient in certain areas of your life. This could be in projects, work, or relationships.

If you not only killed the turtle but ate it too in your dream, then great news- this is a sign of good luck! This could mean that you will be obtaining a lot of wealth soon.

If you see a turtle’s eggs in your dream, this means that you are under a lot of stress. Try to ease some of the burdens placed on you. Ask those around you for help in doing so.

If you have a lot of stress at work, seeing baby turtles in your dream could mean that you need to learn how to work with those around you.

It could also indicate that you should give your children or spouse more freedom and not try to help them out as much. Allow them to learn for themselves and make their own mistakes.

It has also been suggested that, if you see baby turtles in your dream, you will develop an idea that will help you in the long run.

If you see baby turtles hatching out of their eggs, this also means that new beginnings await you. And eggs can also be a sign of you making slow but steady progress.

​Dreams About Moving Turtles

You are also likely to see turtles moving in your dream. The way these turtles are moving and on which surface can have an impact on the dream’s meaning.

If you see a turtle that is swimming slowly, this means that you are likely to have a long life.

If it’s swimming in dirty and muddy water, then this will indicate obstacles that you may face that will not allow you to get a project done easily. It could even put your potential success in danger.

A turtle moving quickly is an indication for you to change the way that you think about or approach something in order for you to have better outcomes.

A flying turtle, as silly as it may seem, is an indication that you need to try out new things in life and shed your reservations.

If the turtle is walking on the ground, this means that you need to take things more slowly in relationships, in work, or in other areas of your life.

And finally, if the turtle is moving away from you, this means that something in your life is coming to an end. This could mean a relationship, friendship, or career. Be prepared for new beginnings and changes in your life.​

Dreams of Turtles in Different Cultures

Turtles also have important meanings across cultures. In many cultures, such as Hawaiian, Celtic, and Native American cultures, turtles and dreams about turtles signified good luck and protection. Ancient Egyptians, however, feared turtles.

Here is a short video that discusses the meaning of dreams about turtles in the Islamic faith:

Dreams about Different Colored Turtles

There are different meanings of dreams with specifically colored turtles. You may see turtles that are green, golden, black, or blue.

A green turtle is a symbol of you having good health and virtue. Golden turtles represent positive and fortunate periods of your life. Blue turtles represent the good characteristics such as honesty and wisdom that you see in others, and black turtles represent any obstacles in your life.

Dreams about Turtle Shells

Turtles use their shells for help and for protection. If you see a shell in your dream, this means that you are protected from the many problems that surround you

If the shell is empty, it means that you are protected from the world. You also tend to give an appearance of being emotionless.

If you see a turtle hiding in the shell, it could also mean that you are hiding from reality.

Finally, if the shell is broken, it means that there will be a break in trust between you and someone close to you.

Interpreting dreams can be an interesting way to find out what is going on in your life. More often than not, we dream about things that we think about frequently, or about events currently taking place in our lives. Sometimes, though, our dreams can have a deeper meaning.

Overall, dreams about turtles typically signify good luck or tell you about areas in your life in which change is necessary.
