crapping camels

I had the most bizarre dream last night about malcontent camels that were holding a grudge and would crap on people. My friends and I kept leaving some kind of book or notebook behind the camel, and when we went to get it, the camel would take the opportunity to crap all over us.
I decided to wash the crap off by taking a bath (eeeewww), and sitting in the shit water, I realized that I was in some kind of military hospital bathtub, and there was a clear brown square sign shaped like a cube in the corner of my bathtub that said "This doctor specializes in diabetes."

Strange huh?

Then I was taking a nap earlier today and I dreamt that I was telling people about my crapping camel dream.

So I decided to look up "camels" and "defecation" in an online dream dictionary.

CAMEL: Portraits of endurance. To see this beast signifies great financial gain, perhaps inheritance. First there will be hardship and obstacles to overcome.

To see a camel in your dream, denotes that you need to be more conservative; you are carrying too many problems on your shoulders. You tend to hold on and cling on to your emotions instead of expressing and releasing them. You need to learn to forgive and forget. Alternatively, it represents your potential for handling big problems, responsibilities, and burdens.


DEFECATION: Release, purging, getting rid of things, etc. etc.

I had no idea that camels and crap were related on any level but apparently my dream is telling me I need to release something. And it's interesting that in my dream the camels crapped on people because they were holding a grudge. But then, what is the significance of the fact that the camel was crapping on me? And on my friends?

Any interpretations?

Or maybe you watched an Animal Planet show on Camels and saw one crapping and it appeared in your dream?

(In the voice of one who becomes painfully earnest when drunk): No, dude, you don't get it. The camel, like, represents Iraq, and the crap is the war, see, and you went and stood right by the camel's exhaust manifold even though you'd been crapped on there before, and like, it means you need to write to your representatators and tell them to get out of Iraq, dude, instead of just sloshing the crap around and around the tub . . . .
