Camels

Camels represent beauty, goodness and benefit for the one whopossesses them or rides them. They may also be indicative of a patientman, because the camel carries heavy burdens; and they may also signaltravel. If a person dreams that he rode a camel when he is sick, hewill die because it travels with loved ones and takes them to farawayplaces. One of the residents of Qafsah dreamt that he rode a camel without asaddle and he was also naked, and that he departed from the gate of thecity. I said to him: You will die. He was not sick at that time, but he fellsick after that and died fifteen days later. A camel may also be indicative of needs being met, because of whatwe said above. Moreover if the camel is Arabian, that is indicative of anArab man, and if it is a Bactrian camel, it is indicative of a non-Arab. The female camel signifies a woman or a benefit or a livelihood. Thecamel colt signifies a man who travels a great deal and is patient, wellloved by prominent people and very useful. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: Whoever rides any of these animals(in his dream) in a way that befits him, if he has some need it will bemet; if he is single he will get married; if he wants to travel he willtravel and he will buy a female slave or a male slave or a house or agarden or a ship, or he may interact with a man like that. A caravan of camels in the sky is indicative of non - stop rain. Thesame applies if one hears the sound of animal footsteps without seeingthem. If a person dreams that he bought camels, he will prevail over hisenemies. If he falls from the back of the camel, that signifies povert y. Ifhe dreams that he took hold of the reins of a camel and led it to a knownpath, this indicates that he will guide a man who is well off to the rightpath. If he led the camel to a road other than the usual one, that signifiesevildoing. If he dreams that he is grazing camels, he will be appointed as agovernor over the Arabs if the camel was Arabian, otherwise he will beappointed as a governor over non - Arabs. A man dreamt that he loaded white paper on a donkey and it becamea camel and did not go anywhere. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said tohim: You sent books with a man and you thought he knew the place,but he turned out to be incompetent and did not know where to go. Thatis because the donkey knows where its owner lives, but the camel doesnot know.
