Astral Projection - Turtle Time in South America.

I became lucid in a lush jungle area. A woman with dark, wavy hair was sitting next to me. We’d clearly been spending some time together talking. She felt like a familiar acquaintance.

When I asked where I was she told me South America and said she’d been showing me around. We had made it up along a pathway and into a turtle sanctuary.

She showed me a diorama with a picture of a particular type of turtle painted on it. There were some rocks inside it, some yellow/orange grasses that reminded me of hay. Part of the painted area showed the Amazon flowing along.

Then she turned to the other side of the path we were on and picked up a turtle. She said it was one of her most favorites because of the yellow spots and how it moves in the water. She let me have a good look at it but I didn’t get to hold it.

She placed it in the special diorama so I could see it among the grasses with the Amazon river view. In places the Amazon River didn’t look particularly wide. I think she meant to convey these particular turtles may prefer the more narrow areas. Before I could ask more questions about her, the area and the turtles I woke up.

I looked up Yellow Spotted Turtles in the Amazon and found links with pictures that look like the turtle she showed me.

It’s called a Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle. Here are the links I found for it.
