If you have a dream about a camera it may apply to a few different things because there are so many different ways that we see cameras. For one, cameras are devices that are meant to capture memories, to take one snapshot of time and leave it behind as an everlasting record of that moment. Some say that cameras are related to death; that the preservation of a moment in time the way that cameras do it is tantamount to putting a body in a mortuary. This certainly isn't the sunniest or most fun way to look at things, do if you've been having dreams about cameras, hopefully this won't relate to your particular interpretation.
If you have a dream that you are taking pictures with a camera it could be because you feel like there is a certain moment that you're trying to preserve. Is the image that you are taking pictures of a clear one in your dreams? If so, then think about how this image might apply to your everyday lie. It could be a sign that you need to remember the moment that you are thinking of in your dreams more clearly. This memory is starting to recede into the back of your mind and you are forgetting that it ever existed. Do not let this happen to you. This is what your mind is warning you by forcing you to live out dreams of pictures and a camera.
If you are having a dream in which you are taking multiple pictures or taking pictures of everything you see, then this could be a remark upon your memory and your retention skills. You are probably getting older and you are starting to lose sight of some of the things that were most important to you as a young person. These memories are receding to the back of your mind, but it is happening at such a fast rate that many of them are just being pushed out forever. You can't remember everything and this is a sure sign of that. You are at your greatest weakness as far as your memory is concerned. At this point your greatest asset would be to write some stuff down. This is a sure way to keep your memories preserved so that you don't have to worry about losing them anymore. You can just read over them later.
To dream of taking pictures may also have to do with the death of memory, but in a different sense. Some people, as soon as a picture of a moment is taken, will start to mourn because that happy moment will never be experienced again. You are probably having a dream about a camera in this case if you have gone through a really fun memory but now all you can do is think about the fact that it is over instead of focusing on the fun that you had while you were experiencing the moment.
A camera, regardless of what was said above, is primarily a way of capturing images and memories for you. It is a way of making sure that you never have to forget about something, despite philosophical conundrums and all argument aside. Thus if you have a dream about a camera, your need to capture and remember a memory that is near and dear to you are for more important than anything else you might be trying to figure out or interpret.
Dreams where a camera features prominently often reflect the dreamer's subconscious thoughts about capturing moments, the desire for preservation of memories, or anxiety about change and the clarity of understanding one's life and environment. The appearance of a camera in your dream can imply a need to focus on particular aspects of life or a coming transition that may alter how you perceive the world around you. When you dream of a camera, it suggests that the dreamer is about to experience changes that could lead to being placed in situations that feel unmerited or foreign. It can denote a phase where the environment around you shifts in ways that appear undeserved - either positively or negatively. Cameras, devices designed to capture and document our realities, in dreams suggest that these changes should be carefully observed and possibly kept on record. Such dreams may be encouraging the dreamer to pay close attention to the details or to prepare for a period of review and reflection. For a young woman dreaming of using a camera, taking photographs might symbolize her attempts to preserve current experiences or manage her expectations about the future. Photographs serve as visual memoirs, allowing us to revisit and sometimes reassess past events. If the context of the dream indicates displeasure or disappointments, it might intimate that the dreamer is or will be dealing with scenarios that are contrary to her hopes and aspirations. It might also indicate a concern that memories being made are not as positive as anticipated. The camera thus serves as a symbol of anticipation and augury. The idea of acute disappointment and being let down by a friend as interpreted in a young woman's dream suggests caution in her trust and expectations in her relationships. It may alert her to the need to see people and situations for what they are, rather than what she wishes them to be – much like a photograph can sometimes reveal truths that the naked eye may overlook.
Typical Camera Dream Example: Imagine a person dreaming that they are on a trip in a beautiful landscape, trying to take photos with a camera, but the camera keeps malfunctioning – either it's out of focus, the battery dies, or the memory card is full. In such a dream interpretation, the camera might represent the dreamer's efforts to capture and hold onto experiences, or it could mirror frustrations in trying to hold onto something fleeting or uncontrollable. The malfunctioning camera signifies obstacles in achieving a clear understanding or memory of these experiences. It could speak to the dreamer's fear of change, losing precious moments, or being unable to maintain control over their life's narrative. The dreamer may be facing a situation in their waking life where they struggle to 'get the full picture' or are confronted with complications that prevent them from progressing as they would like. Such a dream could prompt them to take a step back and reassess their methods or approach to the challenges they face—perhaps indicating a need to adapt or to release the desire for control, and instead embrace the beauty of the imperfect, the transient, and the unrestrained.

I am dreaming lots about taking photos on my camera but I do photography in my waking life. The pictures generally I take look amazing in my head and the scenery is so vivid. I also keep going back to this once particular lake/pond with a rock in the middle and everything is calm but it feels now as I talk about it like a trap.

I have dreams where I am taking pictures on my camera but it only gets their feet or it doesn't work at all. Always when I meet a celebrity and I'm so excited to get a picture with them. Or the person taking the photos takes a picture of something else instead

I just realized now that a dream I had yesterday was one I had a few months back, and they were strikingly similar and I don't know what they mean. The first one I flew to Los Angeles and was walking down a street when I saw a celebrity idol of mine, so I asked if I could take a picture and when I did I looked at the picture and it was just me in the picture, I ended up taking another photo with the previously mentioned celebrity but once again only I showed up in the photo.
Then yesterday the dream was that I was at my house and a different yet equally famous celebrity that I love came to surprise me and when I saw them I asked my mom to take a photo of me and him and when I took my phone to look at the photos they were so blurry and the camera was shaking so you couldn't see anything.
I think this is really strange haha, I wonder what this means ?

I just woke up to a similar dream. I was taking pictures at an event outside in the night. The camera started to not work properly and two picture shots later Rihanna popped up. I took pictures of her with fans, but camera took blurry damaged pictures. Then i was trying to fix the camera to take a picture myself with Rihanna, but then woke up when my sister was knocking the door lol.

I dreamed I was at an old friends house (we don't talk anymore) and I saw that on her couch she had my bag and that is the bag I use to put put my camera in and protect it. Well I said oh there's my camera! So when I went to open the bag my camera wasnt there. I cried and said what did you do to my camera? Where is it? I kept saying that over and over. And she just wouldn't look at me she would just walk hiding her face with her hands, jacket, kept walking and I kept asking her what did you do to my camera? Same thing kept walking didn't even look at me and just kept hiding her face. From my dream I just don't know why my camera was inside her house. And she my camera was gone I understood she took it from me. And she his her face too. Don't understand any of it. Let me know what it means please. Bettiebetty123@yahoo.com

I had the weirdest dream about cameras and taking pictures, but the only one that actually got developed was of exactly a photo of an old fortune teller machine, but I never actually took a photo of it. I'm not exactly sure what it means at all.

I was seeing a huge storm of rolling clouds of red and blue and yellow on horizon. I was happy to see it and tried to take photos of it with my pentax but the button would not work, I was exited to have seen it.

I often dream of taking pictures or collecting trading cards. When I wake up, I realize that these pictures/cards have never existed. They are gone. I wished what I have achieved were true.
