Being a desert creature, camels often represent a dry spell in our lives when we must have patience. Additionally, there is a subtle caution here not to drink any figurative “water” too quickly during this drought, lest you run out or get sick.
In Africa, a symbol of obedient service.
In Arabia, camels are the guardians of the waters, which in this case reflects the intuitive or emotional nature of the dreamer. Are you safeguarding your heart or throwing caution to the winds?
Some important biblical figures are also associated with this creature. John the Baptist was clothed in camel hair (again relating to water) as a symbol of his temperance, and the Magi rode camels to Christ’s birth, making this a creature of dig-nitv and stamina. [1]
Stamina.
Patience.
Ability to “hang in there” for the long run.
Reaching long term goals.
Resourcefulness, conservation, or the ability to make the best use of what you have (as a camel makes very efficient use of water).
Carrying things for others (such as responsibilities or burdens).
Dreaming of this animal can represent too much or not enough of one of those qualities, or someone or something you associate with the quality or animal.
Consider also the animal’s actions, context, and your feelings about it.
Vision: Seeing a camel means anger and frustration, because problems you thought were solved are back. Seeing camels loaded with merchandise: a reward for your efforts and caring. Buying or riding on a camel: you would like others to take care of your responsibilities.
Depth Psychology: The camel represents patience, perseverance, and stamina. Are you the camel—trying to lighten the load? While it may make it easier to get through rough times, don’t overdo it. [3]
A camel can also symbolize your ability to tackle challenges and obstacles head on. [5]
If you were riding cm a camel or saw them in a herd, your future is very bright indeed.
Occasionally the camel’s hump may suggest pregnancy or the desire for children. [7]

If you dream of a caravan of camels, then it will be money that is coming. [19]
If one finds himself unable to control his camel in a dream, it means being overcome by a strong opponent. Ifone sees himself holding the reins of a camel and driving it on a paved road in a dream, it means that he will guide a heedless person and lead him on the straight path.
If one takes the camel through a side road in a dream, it means that he will lead such a person into wrongdoing.
If a she-camel leaves one’s house in a dream, it means separation from one’s wife through either a divorce or death.
A camel in a dream also represents prosperity, trials, a tree or women’s holdings.
A tamed camel in a dream represents a learned person. Collecting camel’s fur in a dream means money.
