You may even think that the snail is a disgusting, slow and disgusting animal. However, the language of dreams shows us that these characteristics have incredible meanings. The slowness of the animal, for example, symbolizes patience. It indicates that we should always walk forward, keeping a calm but constant pace. This way, we will get where we want to go.
The snail, in turn, symbolizes what you carry within you. The shell that the snail carries on its back is its home. In contrast, we have as home our mind, where everything we possess is: knowledge, ideas, purposes, capacities and beliefs.
