Airplane
Ambition, journey, rising above
Clock
Time anxiety, deadlines, life passage
Airplane
Airplanes represent lofty ambitions, major life journeys, and the desire to rise above earthly concerns. Flying in a plane differs from personal flying: it represents collective journeys and reliance on systems larger than yourself. A plane taking off symbolizes launching a major project or life phase. A crashing plane represents fear of ambitious plans failing. Turbulence reflects anxiety about the journey.
Clock
Clocks represent your relationship with time — the most universal human concern. A clock ticking loudly suggests time pressure and deadlines. A stopped clock may indicate feeling that time has stopped or that you're wasting time. Clock hands spinning rapidly reflect the feeling that time is moving too fast. The specific time shown on a clock may carry personal significance.
