I do remember riding a camel, the stirrups were huge. There was a long line but few people were riding.
Also I ended up somewhere where ladybugs pupated and lived in a stream. While I was at that place, tiny lambs were being skinned. I'm not sure if they were already dead or if they were going to slaughter.
Such a wierd dream.
To remember something in your dream, indicates that you have learned something significant from your past mistakes or previous experiences. The dream may also serve as a reminder of something important that is occurring in your waking life. You are so worried that you will forget something that the preoccupation has made its way into your dream.
Traditionally considered in curious relation with the dragon and with
winged serpents, for, according to the Zohar, the serpent in the Garden of Eden
was a kind of ‘flying camel’. Similar allusions are to be found in the Persian ZendAvesta (9).
To see a camel in your dream, denotes that you need to be more conservative; you are carrying too many responsibilities, burdens and problems on your shoulders. Consider the common phrase, "the straw that broke the camel's back". You tend to hold on and cling on to your emotions instead of expressing and releasing them. Learn to forgive and forget. Alternatively, the camel represents your stamina.
Heavy burdens will come upon you. You will meet with heavy disasters. But you
will bear with heroism.

Symbolic Camel Meaning
When we begin reasoning about the symbolic meaning of camels, we cannot miss the prevalent symbolic themes of journeying. The essence of long-distance travel is at the symbolic heart of the camel, and it's easy to see why. It's no secret the camel can endure days in scorching hot deserts while transporting precious cargo (even whole nomadic communities!) across great distances.
I'm struck by this knowledge when the camel comes to my awareness. When I see the camel, it typically holds a message of travel - typically of an arduous kind - like a pilgrimage. Rather than get stressed out by internal questions like "What kind of travel?", "Arduous travel? That sounds intimidating, what kind of challenges will I face this time!?" I've learned to embrace the protective qualities of the camel instead of worrying about the pitfalls inherent to a long journey ahead.
We all have daunting travel ahead of us, it's the way of human life. That's why the camel is such a great energetic guide on our human path. Camels are designed to take on the challenges of long-distance journeying over harsh terrain. From an energetic or spiritual stand-point, they are superiorly equipped for the long-haul.
If we are faced with a potentially formidable path ahead of us - a journey that we must take, but likely full of pitfalls (every trip has its stumbling points) - I recommend calling upon the camel for strength, endurance and protection. This could be a physical journey, or a spiritual one. For centuries, the camel has been initiating long expeditions through unforgiving conditions, and it is highly capable of helping and protecting us as we make our way along the long path of life.
The camel is also an expert at conservation. The humps of a camel are stored with fat, which is stuffed with hydrogen atoms - water is held in the camel's fat cells and via its ingenious metabolic system, the camel is able to regulate and conserve its water supply over long periods of time. Camels, when invoked, can assist us with this too. Camels serve as a reminder to pace ourselves, and be mindful of our own energy levels. When you feel like you're always 'running on empty' try visualizing the camel helping you to regulate your energy stores. Camels can also help regulate our metabolism. Try meditating with the camel; specifically ask the camel to help with keeping resources and metabolism on an even keel. You'll be amazed at how effective this request of the camel can be.
Camels can serve as incredibly skilled guides in our life. They've been traveling for eons, and their energy is impressed with themes of guidance, making them expert helpers on our way through the varied paths of life.

To dream of the dead, is usually a dream of warning. If you see and talk

Be careful how you enter into contracts, enemies are around you.
Men and women are warned to look to their reputations after this dream.
To see your mother, warns you to control your inclination to cultivate morbidness and ill will towards your fellow creatures. A brother, or other relatives or friends, denotes that you may be called on for charity or aid within a short time.
To dream of seeing the dead, living and happy, signifies you are letting wrong influences into your life, which will bring material loss if not corrected by the assumption of your own will force.
To dream that you are conversing with a dead relative, and that relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns you of coming distress, unless you follow the advice given you. Disastrous consequences could often be averted if minds could grasp the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self. The voice of relatives is only that higher self taking form to approach more distinctly the mind that lives near the material plane. There is so little congeniality between common or material natures that persons should depend upon their own subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
[52] Paracelsus says on this subject: ``It may happen that the soul of persons who have died perhaps fifty years ago may appear to us in a dream, and if it speaks to us we should pay special attention to what it says, for such a vision is not an illusion or delusion, and it is possible that a man is as much able to use his reason during the sleep of his body as when the latter is awake; and if in such a case such a soul appears to him and he asks questions, he will then hear that which is true. Through these solicitous souls we may obtain a great deal of knowledge to good or to evil things if we ask them to reveal them to us. Many persons have had such prayers granted to them. Some people that were sick have been informed during their sleep what remedies they should use, and after using the remedies, they became cured, and such things have happened not only to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and heathens, to good and to bad persons.''
The writer does not hold that such knowledge is obtained from external or excarnate spirits, but rather through the personal Spirit Glimpses that is in man.—AUTHOR.
