In this dream Jamie and I were at a lovely restaurant and while walking back to our table, I saw a camera case on a table that looked just like our old one. No one was at the table and I pointed it out to Jamie, telling him it looked like our old camera case. He said it didn't and kept walking, but I couldn't get over how similar it was. I just knew it was ours. So I picked it up and looked inside at the camera and sure enough it was ours. I took the camera, absolutely ecstatic that I had found the stolen camera. As I was sitting down, the couple that presumably stole my camera came up and demanded their camera back. I informed them that it's not their camera if they steal it from someone else. We were making such a fuss that the manager of the restaurant came up to see if he could help us with something. I told him that these two people had stolen my camera and I was not giving it back. Suddenly all the pictures on the camera appeared in a photo album and I flipped through showing the waiter our 1100 photos and their 15. It was quite obvious that the camera belonged to us (I also found it very creepy that these people had kept all of our old pictures). He told the couple that we would keep the camera. This did not seem to appease them though because when we left the restaurant they began following us, showing up everywhere we went, including the house of friends of ours. We went inside to lay low for the night and the psycho's walked right in behind us, chasing me everywhere insisting they wanted the camera back. I finally escaped them early the next morning by locking myself in the master bedroom, and by climbing out the window and onto the roof.
I could feel myself waking up and was so saddened all over again that it was only a dream and I did not really have my stolen camera back. :(
Interpretation:
To see a camera in your dream, signifies your desires to cling on and/or live in the past. Alternatively, it may represent you need to focus on a particular situation. Perhaps you need to get a clearer picture or idea.
To dream that you are on a roof, symbolizes boundless success.
To dream that you are looking through a photo album, suggests that you are unwilling to let go of your memories and the past. You are idealizing about the past.
To dream that you are in a restaurant, suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed by decisions/choices that you need to make in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that you are seeking emotional nourishment outside of your social support system.
