Islamic Interpretation
Riding a tame camel in a dream indicates resolving a difficulty through the aid of a stranger. If an Arab assists in the dream, it foretells undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca. Dismounting the camel during the journey signifies an illness that will interrupt one's travels. Leaping over a camel suggests distress, sickness, or rising hostility toward an arrogant person. Being unable to manage one's camel means being overpowered by a formidable adversary. Guiding a camel along a proper road denotes directing an inattentive soul toward righteousness; leading it onto a byway means misleading that person into error. If a female camel departs one's home, it predicts parting from a wife through divorce or death. A camel also signifies affluence, tribulations, a tree, or a woman's possessions. It can represent a person of knowledge. Gathering camel hair symbolizes wealth. (Also see Counting camels, Milk)
