I had a dream that a turtle and a ginger cat was in my house. The turtle was on the wall and the door was open and the cat came in the house. The turtle fell and the cat kind of got angry but did not attack the turtle. I pushed the cat out(in real life I’m highly allergic). My daughter picked the turtle up and on the shell was written the address it belonged to in our community. So her, my 2 sons and I went to look for the address but couldn’t find it. We weren’t in the community we lived in.

As I was scared that I killed it. I did find it and put in the tank with better water. This happened 3xs.
