Three ways the dream can develop
A snapping turtle chases you
A pursuit can make a feeling you have tried to hide seem close behind you. Recall what you were trying to escape and whether the chase made the pressure feel urgent or simply unavoidable.
You speak with the turtle
A conversation can make room for your own inner voice. The content of the exchange may be useful, especially if you were looking for answers and the scene made it easier to hear yourself think.
The turtle lays eggs
Eggs can suggest ideas or projects that are still taking shape. The slow, protective animal in this scene can help you think about what that beginning needs before it is ready to emerge.
