Clock
Time anxiety, deadlines, life passage
Teeth Growing
Renewal, new power, maturation
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.
Teeth Growing
While teeth falling out represents loss and anxiety, teeth growing represents gaining new strength, maturity, and capability. New teeth may symbolize new tools for self-expression, confidence in communication, or a fresh start after a period of vulnerability. In children's dreams this is literal; in adults it represents psychological maturation and renewed confidence.
