Okay, so, I’ve been having these crazy dreams lately, and a lot of them involve sea turtles. It’s gotten to the point where I’m like, “What the heck is going on?” So, I started digging around to figure out what dreaming of sea turtles might mean.
First off, I went down this rabbit hole online, reading all sorts of stuff about dream symbolism. I mean, it seems like everyone has a different opinion. I kept seeing that turtles, in general, can mean a bunch of different things in dreams. Things like stability and being grounded, which, honestly, I could use a bit more of in my life right now. I read something like that turtles often represent “Mother Earth” or something like that.
I started by noting down each time I dreamt of a sea turtle. I grabbed a notebook and just started scribbling down everything I could remember after waking up. The color of the turtle, where it was, what it was doing, you name it. I read about that turtles could symbolize strength, fertility, endurance, good fortune, longevity, and protection.
Then, I started to look for patterns. Was there anything similar in all these dreams? It turns out, most of the time, the sea turtles in my dreams were just swimming around peacefully. Sometimes they were on the beach, other times in the deep ocean. The more I recorded, the more I started to connect these dreams to what was going on in my real life.
I also thought about what was happening in my life at that time. Was I stressed? Excited? Going through a big change? I found that my dreams would often reflect my emotions or something I was going through. For instance, when I was feeling anxious about work, I dreamt about a turtle that was struggling to get back to the ocean. It was kinda freaky but also super insightful.
The more I thought about the turtles, the more I felt like they were there to tell me something. I saw somewhere online that seeing a turtle in a dream could mean you’re wanting safety or that you need to be more patient. I realized I needed to slow down and take things one step at a time, just like a turtle. They’re in no hurry, right?
My Own Little Experiment
So, I decided to get a bit more proactive. Before going to bed, I started to meditate for a few minutes, focusing on the image of a sea turtle. I know it sounds a little out there, but I wanted to see if I could influence my dreams in any way. I also read somewhere that dreaming of a sea turtle can mean you have a deep connection to the vast. Not sure what that meant but I wanted to find out.
- Week 1: Just started the meditation. Dreams were still pretty random, but I did have one where a sea turtle helped me find something I’d lost.
- Week 2: I started to feel more relaxed before bed. The dreams were becoming more vivid, and the sea turtles seemed more… present, I guess?
- Week 3: Had a dream where I was swimming alongside a giant sea turtle. It felt amazing, like we were just gliding through the water together.
- Week 4: Noticed I’m generally more chill during the day. Dreams are still turtle-heavy, but now they’re more about exploring and discovering new things.
After a month of all this, I gotta say, I feel a lot more connected to my subconscious, or whatever you wanna call it. I’m no dream expert, but I’m pretty sure those sea turtles were trying to tell me to chill out and enjoy the ride.
I’m still keeping track of my dreams, and it’s become this cool little personal project. I don’t know, maybe it sounds silly, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot about myself through these dreams. Life’s a journey, right? And sometimes, you just gotta go with the flow, like a sea turtle in the ocean.
