Dove

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.
Dove
Doves are universal symbols of peace, love, and hope. In Christianity, the dove represents the Holy Spirit. In dreams, a dove may bring a message of peace after conflict or signal a period of tranquility ahead. A white dove is particularly significant, often representing spiritual purity and divine communication. Releasing doves symbolizes letting go and finding freedom.
