A turtle without a shell appears as a sign of vulnerability while the mind sorts through recent events. This dream indicates that the natural defenses used to manage external pressures have been temporarily set aside, leaving the internal self exposed.
The brain uses this image to show that the usual ways of shielding oneself have failed. This exposure leaves the dreamer feeling exposed, which can be an unsettling experience during the night. A capacity for directness exists within this state of openness.
A turtle with a broken shell changes the meaning of the dream by suggesting that the loss of protection is not a passive state but the result of an active struggle. The shattered remains indicate that previous efforts to secure one’s boundaries have been exhausted by force.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
