Clock
Time anxiety, deadlines, life passage
Mountain

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.
Mountain
Mountains represent major challenges, spiritual aspirations, and the effort required for achievement. Climbing a mountain symbolizes working toward a significant goal. Standing at the summit represents achievement and the broader perspective gained through effort. A mountain blocking your path indicates a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. In many spiritual traditions, mountains are sacred places where heaven meets earth.
