What does it mean if I dream of a clock?

Answer 1

Clocks measure time in dreams as well as in your waking life. What is important is the type of clock and if it is running (fast, slow or not at all).

Clocks that move slowly usually mean that you are uninspired by your life, i.e. "Time is dragging."

Clocks that move quickly often mean you feel you are "Running out of time."

Freud interpreted clocks as related to menstruation, as the measure out cycles of time.

And then there is the whole "Biological clock" ticking away.

You will know best which of these interpretations is correct.

Answer 2

The clock ringing in your dream could mean that you have overslept and actually need to wake up. On a symbolic level, the dream means that you need to "wake up" in the sense of looking at a situation realistically, recognizing what is going on around you. Your own mind is telling you to stop dreaming, stop being in denial, and admit the truth.

Answer 3

Any clock is a metaphor for time, and an old clock suggests time in the past. So this dream somehow refers to a specific period of time in your past. Further information would be needed to provide a more specific interpretation.

Answer 4

It probably related to some deadline you have, presumably coming up very quickly.
