Camel in a dream
According to old dream books, a camel in a dream stands for patience, endurance and a long road that pays off in the end.
In folk readings the camel is tied to a person who can carry a load without much complaint. A dream about one is believed to come when a task that takes time lies ahead, a task you have quite enough strength for. A calm camel means you will get where you are going slowly and safely, and one lying down means it is your turn to rest as well. The message is soothing: you need not do everything at once, only keep to your own pace.

Old folk see a long caravan as a sign that you are not alone in what you do. It is said that help comes from several people at once, a little from each.
