I had yet another dream for you, Daniel! I'm so pleased I'm dreaming so much, but I only wish I had done so for Ty too.
here is your dream--
I dreamed again that I was on a cruise. (What is it with me and cruise ships??
) and we had gotten to port--it was someplace like the Bahamas or Bermuda. I was in a gift shop and there were crowds of people from the cruise ship in there trying to buy lots of gifts and souveniers.
I was looking around and saw all these turtle and other sea creatures skeletons for sale. I was not actually interested in them, but because I was sort of stuck by this table and couldn't move forward into teh store anymore for all the people, I happened to pick up this one turtle skeleton to look at. I realized how magnificent this turtle was. As I was admiring it, the man directly in front of me (also a tourist) turned and asked me "what do you have there?" "A turtle skeleton!" I said happily. "Oh no. Not just
anyturtle there! That is a special turtle, known as (and I forget what type he said. It may have even been a specific breed of turtle, but who knows?). I went to set him down--but I was about to put him on a shelf of the same table that had other sea creatures skeletons.
All of a sudden they all came alive - though still just bones and two fo them were trying to eat 'my' turtle! I couldn't allow that to happen, so I picked it back up and the turtles arms and legs became even longer and wrapped around me lovingly like it was saying "Thank you for saving me!" It also reminded me of how babies cling to you with arms and legs when you pick them up. I decided right there and then this turtle would come home with me and I bought it.
end of dream.
I did take the liberty to look up in the dream dictionary online what turtles symbolize:
Turtle
To see a turtle in your dream symbolizes wisdom, faithfulness, longevity, and loyalty. It also suggests that you need to take it slow in some situation or relationship in your life. With time and patience, you will make steady progress. Alternatively, a turtle indicates that you are sheltering yourself from the realities of life. You are putting forth a hard exterior and not letting others in. As a result, you are feeling withdrawn.
To dream that you are being chased by a turtle indicates that you are hiding behind a fa�ade, instead of confronting the things that are bothering you.
Sea Turtle
To see a sea turtle in your dream indicates that you are cautious when it comes to expressing your emotions. You may also be a little emotionally sheltered.
eta: I decided to look up the turtle as a spirit guide too--
The turtle totem wisdom teaches us about walking our path in peace and sticking to it with determination and serenity. Slow moving on earth, yet also incredibly fast and agile in water, those who have the turtle as totem or spirit animal may be encouraged to take a break in their busy lives and look around or within themselves for more grounded, long-lasting solutions. Traditionally, the turtle is symbolic of the way of peace, whether it’s inviting us to cultivate peace of mind or a peaceful relationship with our environment.

it also lists much more on this as a spirit guide, so I highly recommend you check it out, Daniel.
