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.
Door
Doors represent opportunities, transitions, and choices. An open door symbolizes new possibilities and welcoming change, while a closed or locked door may represent missed opportunities or barriers. Knocking on a door suggests seeking access or trying to reach someone. Multiple doors can represent the many choices available to you.
