Clock in a dream
In folk belief, a clock in a dream speaks of time and patience: some things arrive in their own hour.
In folk belief, a clock or watch in a dream shows how you relate to time. One that keeps good time is read as order in your duties and a good rhythm, one that runs fast as impatience for something you look forward to. Old dream books say a stopped clock is not a bad sign but an invitation to pause and rest. A new watch on your wrist means a fresh start. This dream is said to visit hard-working people who care about getting everything done.
The most common dreams

Dreaming of getting a watch as a gift

Dreaming of a large wall clock
In folk belief it speaks of family routines and habits that make you feel safe. It is also read as a memory of childhood.
Dreaming of checking the time in a hurry
It is said you are impatient about something you want. The dream calms you: what is meant for you will not pass you by.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
