What Does Tortoise Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a tortoise means patience and protection. Slow down; do not force this.
The tortoise moves at its own pace and carries its shelter with it. In dreams it counsels patience and, sometimes, withdrawal.
Its posture is the reading: moving means slow steady progress, withdrawn into the shell means a need to protect yourself for a while.
