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.
Road
Roads represent your life path and the journey ahead. A straight, clear road suggests confidence in your direction, while a winding road indicates uncertainty or a complex journey. A fork in the road represents a major decision. The condition of the road (paved vs. rough) reflects how easy or difficult you perceive your path to be.
