Camera
A camera is the wish to hold what's already passing — to fix a moment, or a face, before it changes. It's also the sense of being seen and framed, caught as an image that may not be the whole of you. Where in waking life are you trying to keep something that won't stay still — or aware of being watched and recorded, shown as a picture that isn't quite the living truth?
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for camera, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a camera, signifies that changes will bring undeserved environments. For a young woman to dream that she is taking pictures with a camera, foretells that her immediate future will have much that is displeasing and that a friend will subject her to acute disappointment.
