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.
Map
Maps represent your ability to navigate life's complexities and plan your course. Reading a map suggests seeking direction or trying to understand where you are in life. A torn or illegible map indicates confusion about direction. A treasure map represents hidden goals or the search for something valuable. Drawing a map suggests taking control of your journey and defining your own path.
