Snail
A snail — slow, soft, leaving a slimy trail — often touches unhealthful conditions surrounding you, with disagreeable people met if you step on them. The dream may ask where something sluggish and faintly unwholesome is creeping through your environment, and whether the slow presence you sense reflects company that's quietly bad for you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for snail, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Snails crawling in your dream, signifies that unhealthful conditions surround you.
To step on them, denotes that you will come in contact with disagreeable people.
