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.
Drinking Water
Drinking water in dreams represents quenching a deep thirst — not just physical but emotional and spiritual. Clear, cool water suggests satisfying emotional or spiritual needs. Contaminated water indicates toxic emotional input. Being unable to find water reflects emotional deprivation. Drinking deeply suggests finally receiving the emotional nourishment you've been craving.
