VI. Case Studies

Case One: Dream: I dreamed that a turtle crawled into my house, and I caught it and kept it in an aquarium.

Interpretation: Seeing a turtle enter a well or a house in a dream is a symbol of great wealth and prosperity.

Case Two: Question: My friend dreamed that I was chasing a turtle, then we both jumped into the water, swimming quickly. Finally, I caught the turtle and broke its shell... The turtle probably died... Innocent me is asking for an interpretation here...

Answer: Actually, dreams are mostly formed by the subconscious, but they have no time limitations—meaning they could be from several months ago, years ago, or even from a long time ago. What you saw, heard, or thought at the time might not have been important, but such information might remain in your subconscious and eventually appear as a dream. That's why many people dream about turtles and snakes—because many years ago, Master Shan had a small sketch on the Spring Festival Gala where a tiger was bitten by a snake. The tiger was angry and wanted to step on the snake. It chased the snake to a riverbank, and the snake "zhi" (a sound) dived into the water. The tiger waited on the shore. Soon, a turtle came out, and the tiger grabbed it, saying, "You wear a jacket, and I don't recognize you." So, everyone's dream can be easily explained.

Case Three: Question: I dreamed of a huge turtle in a pond, with many people trying to catch it. I stopped them, and finally, the turtle lived safely in the pond.

Answer: Dreaming about a turtle is a good omen. However, dreaming about a dying turtle represents strong evil intentions.

Dreaming of traveling to the sea on a sea turtle suggests that you may be influenced by others and attempt something you've never done before. For example, if you've never gone to a place of pleasure or entertainment, but due to others' teasing, you think, "I'll go, what's the big deal?" You may end up becoming a topic of conversation, even suffering disgrace, so be careful.
