Dreaming of a Watch
watch, timepiece, wristwatch · mixed
A watch promises success in well-managed ventures, but rivalry or loss depending on what happens to it.
What happens in the dream
- Seeing a watch: well-judged investments will make you prosperous
- Buying a gold one: hard times; being given one: luck and money
- Losing it: trouble at home, though by another reading losing a gold watch means business success
- Giving one as a gift: you will neglect your interests for unworthy pastimes
- Checking the time: rivals will undercut your efforts
- Breaking it: distress and loss; dropping its crystal: carelessness or bad company
- Stealing one: an enemy will attack your reputation
How you felt
- Time pressure: the dream often reflects a feeling that the hours are slipping by
- A need for control: you may be afraid of missing the right moment
Ask yourself
- Do I feel short of time?
- What am I waiting for the 'right moment' to do?
