Purple Snail in dreams
Slow steady carrying of your own home — patience at its smallest scale.
How purple changes the reading
The base reading of Snail
A snail in a dream is the dictionary's image of slow, deliberate progress with everything you need carried with you. The snail moves at a pace that looks impossible to reach a destination at; it gets there anyway. The dream tends to appear when you have been pacing yourself in a way you have started to doubt and which is, in fact, working.
Where you often see it. A snail on a wet leaf. A snail crossing a path slowly. The dream uses the snail for slow steady carrying of your own home — patience at its smallest scale.
What it is not. A snail is not always slowness as flaw. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's compact carried-with-them shelter.
Related in the dictionary. Read snail with turtle (its larger cousin), and any scene where shelter is carried.
