Baby
Babies in dreams often represent new beginnings, innocence, and vulnerable aspects of yourself that need nurturing. They can also symbolize new projects, ideas, or relationships in their infancy. Caring for a baby may reflect your nurturing nature, while neglecting a dream baby may indicate you're neglecting something important in waking life.
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.
