Cameo
To see or wear a cameo in your dream suggests that you only show certain parts of yourself to certain people. Not everyone knows your full self, and you would like to keep it this way.

Camera
A camera in our dreams is a way of our mind telling us that we need to learn to pay more attention to something. This shows us that something has happened in our recent waking life that we should have noticed more. This dream tells us to pay attention to the small things in life, as they help make up the big picture.
A camera can also predict that something will change what you have noticed. You may remember something differently from how it really happened, or your feelings towards something will change shortly because of something that will change how you look at it.
