Clock vs Running

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.

Running

Running in dreams represents effort, pursuit of goals, or escape from threats. The ability to run matters greatly: running easily suggests confidence and momentum, while being unable to run (legs heavy, stuck in place) reflects frustration and helplessness. Running toward something indicates motivation and desire, while running away connects to avoidance and fear. Marathon running may represent endurance through a long challenge.
