The clock is time: deadlines, the passing of life, the right moment. A stopped clock is a time that is frozen.
When the dream feels light
A clock showing a clear time speaks of good timing and things that come in their hour.
When the dream feels dark
Being late or a broken clock points to stress, fear of missing out or the feeling that time is running out.
Ask yourself
Am I living according to my own time?

The card of this dream
Wheel of Fortune. The turning of fate: one cycle closes, another opens. The Wheel of Fortune turns in the sky, carried by the sphinx and the serpent, with the four living creatures reading in the corners. It is fate, cycles and change: the wheel turns, luck shifts, and a new chapter begins.
