Dreaming Of Turtles

When the turtle is in danger it uses its shell as a protective blanket, without this shell the turtle is a defenseless animal. 
I have loved writing this dream meaning because I am a complete turtle nerd. Many people purchase turtles as pets because of their cuteness, in dreams turtles can also be wild. Dreaming about a turtle can indicate that you are resisting change. 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.
