Dreaming of a Clock

clock, alarm clock, timepiece · mixed

A clock splits the old readings: danger and bad news for some, a coming wedding for others.

What happens in the dream

  • Counting the morning hours: happiness and a faithful sweetheart
  • Hearing a clock strike: bad news, possibly a friend's death; another reading sees a quick wedding and modest success
  • Seeing a clock: danger from an enemy
  • A clock falling or breaking: danger
  • Counting the afternoon hours: misfortune, danger and an unfaithful sweetheart

How you felt

  • Pressure: the dream may reflect a sense that time is running out
  • Anticipation: you may be waiting for something important

Ask yourself

  • What do I feel I don't have time for?
  • What moment am I waiting for?
