Clock
Time anxiety, deadlines, life passage
House
Self, psyche, identity
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.
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
