An interpretation of camera dreams

An interpretation of camera dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A camera in a dream can be used to show point of view or perception, such as how you view yourself, your life, people, events, and situations. A view through a camera, or a camera-eye view, can symbolize how you view the story told by the dream and how it impacts you personally. For example, a third-person point of view is a strong indicator of observing something that doesn’t directly involve you, such as when you dream about the life of someone you know. Then again, it can be a way of creating some personal distance from a subject about which you feel strongly so the dream can continue without ego interference. First-person point of view through your own eyes, on the other hand, shows immersion in the story, something that directly affects you. Keep in mind, this is only a rule of thumb. Dreams are infinitely clever with how they construct stories. A camera can relate to focus and clarity. Or take the idea of focus in another direction and it can mean personal focus, such as focusing on small details or avoiding distraction. A wider point of view can mean “the big picture.” A camera can symbolize memory, the recording of events in your outer life and inner life. The symbolism can convey much information about how you perceive your history and what you learned from it. Dreaming about always being on camera can indicate a Truman Show delusion, the belief that your life is constantly being observed, that you’re living in the ultimate reality show. It’s a form of grandiosity. Or you might subconsciously detect that you really are being secretly monitored. Spyware and spying devices are all too common. For example, see: Phone.
