What Does It Mean to Dream About Video Camera?

To dream of using a video camera represents committing an experience to memory. Noticing or remembering every single thing that you're witnessing. It may also represent your attempt to document an event or entire process for later use. There might also be a lot of information or details that you want to share with others.

A video camera may be a sign that you don't want to forget a large amount of information that you're being presented with. You don't want to miss anything.

To dream of a hidden video camera represents your attempt to observe or keep tabs on someone in stealth. Keeping a close eye on someone without their knowledge. Alternatively, a hidden camera may reflect behavior that is nosy or bordering on stalking. Invading others privacy or inappropriately paying attention to people you know you shouldn't be.

Example: A man dreamed of using a video camera to film a wedding. In waking life, he started a journal about everything that was happening to him with a new work project. In this case, using a video camera may have reflected his desire to meticulously document each step and detail of the new work project, perhaps out of excitement, fear of making a mistake, or the significance he attributed to the project.

Example 2: A gay teenage boy dreamed of his boyfriend filming him with a camcorder and then seeing the boyfriend vanish. In waking life, he felt that his relationship was getting over the honeymoon phase as he and the boyfriend both learned everything about each other. In this case, the boyfriend filming him may have reflected his feelings about the process of having a dating experience with his boyfriend committed to memory in which his boyfriend learned every single thing about him while having anxieties about having nothing else new to enjoy experiencing learning about him. He may have felt that his boyfriend was now bored experiencing the process of getting to know him.

Using a video camera in your dream implies that you need to center your attention to a specific course of action. You need to stop all other distractions from hindering your progress. If you dream of someone else videotaping, consider what that person is videotaping. The dream refers to your recollections. Your unconscious is trying to get you to reflect and learn from your past.
