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.
Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
