Clock vs Intruder

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.

Intruder

An intruder in your home represents a violation of your personal boundaries — someone or something is invading your most private psychological space. The intruder can represent a repressed aspect of yourself demanding attention, an actual person whose presence feels invasive, or general anxiety about safety and vulnerability. How you respond to the intruder reveals your approach to boundary violations.
