Psychology
Egg-laying symbolizes creative power. Because it is a slow turtle, it may show an idea you have patiently nurtured finally taking form. If you were watching over it, you wish to witness something being born.
Folklore and history
Sea turtles crawling onto night beaches to lay eggs, and hatchlings racing to the sea, are familiar images. The tears they seem to shed are said to be a way of expelling salt. A long-lived turtle passing on life is read in dream lore as prosperity and fruition.
A simple slip-on spike that turns any shoe into a non-slip one for exploring a ruin or icy mountain road in winter. Less bulky than full crampons, this compact type is easy to carry, guarding against falls during a snow-season test-of-courage trip or ruin exploration.

This site's view
In this site's view, a turtle buries its eggs and returns to the sea without seeing them hatch. The dream may ask whether you can trust what you made and let it go. If you woke worried about the eggs, you may still want to hold on to your work or those you raised.
Going deeper: our reading
The temperature of the sand in which sea turtle eggs are buried is known to determine the sex of the hatchlings. Hatchlings also head toward the bright horizon, and artificial lights along the shore can lure them inland. In this site's reading, a dream of a turtle laying eggs reflects an awareness that how your creations grow depends heavily on their surroundings. Plans or work you have nurtured: what they become rests not only on your effort but on the warmth and light around them. Quietly watching suggests you can raise what you have made without rushing. Harsh light on the beach suggests something near you may be leading your young astray. This is our speculation, but seeing the hatchlings reach the sea safely is heartfelt reassurance that the way will open even after you let go.
What to do on waking
