Why do you dream about time on a clock (Dream Interpretation)

Most people are familiar with the theory that the brain constantly processes incoming information during sleep, even if the person in reality did not pay any attention to this information.

Sometimes a person has dreams that make even the most inveterate skeptics and convinced materialists interested in its meaning. A dream in which a person looks intently at the clock, noting the time, belongs to this category.

The emphasis not on the mechanism, but on the hand of the clock after waking up arouses interest, so the dreamer looks in dream books for what time means in dreams.

Famous dream books

Time is an abstract concept. Therefore, most people associate it with a mechanism – a watch.

In Miller's dream book, time is considered specifically in connection with the clock. If in a dream you were looking at your watch, keeping track of time, pay attention to your competitors - perhaps you need to change your strategy to achieve success.

According to Medea’s dream book, time symbolizes the prospects of your affairs:

Morning hours mean new successful beginnings.
Daytime symbolizes a stable state of affairs.
Evening time indicates that the work begun is nearing completion.
The night hours symbolize the uncertainty of the situation.

Vanga’s dream book notes that if you dreamed of time that you determined by the clock:

On which the numbers are not visible, you need to be careful and thus avoid trouble.
Which ticked loudly - you need to make an effort to achieve the desired result.
Antique watch - you need to think about the past and draw the necessary conclusions.

Loff noted that time is a rather difficult element to interpret, since the perception of time in a dream is very different from its perception in reality.
The dream book indicates that if you saw certain numbers on a clock in a dream, this element of the dream may symbolize the time period between two significant events. The Russian folk dream book interprets the numbers on a clock in a dream as an indication of a date that will be of key importance to you (the hour hand shows the year, the minute hand shows the month or day).

In Grishina’s noble dream book, a clock is also considered a symbol of time. If you dreamed that:

You determine the time by striking the tower clock - important events await you.
You are looking at the dial on your wristwatch - it means that in reality you are spending too much time on unimportant details.
The numbers on the clock are not visible when trying to determine the time - you will not participate in any important events.
Time has gone backwards in a dream - someone or something from the past will acquire special weight in your present.
The hands on the clock show midnight - then this dream reflects one of the significant future events, but it will not come true soon.

Interpretation of numbers on the phone

Seeing the time on a mobile phone in a dream means that in real life the dreamer devotes too little time to truly important things - hobbies, family, friends - and works too much. Seeing how the numbers on the phone screen slowly fade away indicates a person’s chronic fatigue and a deterioration in his well-being.

It is also worth paying attention to the numbers (especially those that indicate hours, not minutes) - each of them has its own meaning:

“One” means that a person will get what he wants if he puts in the effort.
“Two” indicates reconciliation with a friend or relative with whom the dreamer is currently in a quarrel.
“Three” promises a nervous breakdown for the dreamer, as well as a major scandal with loved ones.
“Four” portends a pleasant journey, a beneficial business trip.
“Five” predicts a meeting with old friends and acquaintances, as well as a possible showdown between spouses.
"Six" indicates an event that will happen in the coming week. For men, the dream predicts a business trip or long trip, for a woman - a long-awaited vacation, for a teenager or child - fun in the fresh air.
“Seven” foreshadows grueling physical labor - you will have to do something with your own hands.
“Eight” indicates a change in a person’s personal life, but in which direction, positive or negative, is unknown.
“Nine” foreshadows a surprise, an unexpected gift for the dreamer.
“Zero” indicates a transitional period in a person’s life, changes currently occurring.

A combination of two or more numbers means that soon several events will happen to the dreamer at once or one event will follow from another.

Specific time in a dream

The modern dream book interprets time depending on the specific numbers on the dial. If in a dream the clock showed:

One o'clock in the morning - you will have an unexpected trip, which will be pleasant if you love night time.
One o'clock in the afternoon - you need to pay attention to your health, as a cold can interfere with the implementation of your plans.
1 hour, but you cannot understand the time of day - in reality you will be able to beat your competitor and get approval from your superiors. If, after reflection, you decide that the clock shows one in the morning, expect a visit and important business news the next day.
2 am - in reality exactly 2 days ago you met a person who can give you a lot. The dream book recommends that girls not rush into decisions on this matter.
2 o'clock in the afternoon - in reality, after 2 weeks you will be able to do a new interesting thing or get a new job where your talents can fully manifest themselves. If in a dream you feel uneasy when you see these numbers on the clock, you need to make an effort not to miss your chance.
3 am - in reality, it will be difficult for you to take control of a difficult situation, but if you are prepared for it, you will be able to avoid panic and disappointment.
3 pm - your faded passion will flare up again. Pleasant emotions in a dream indicate reciprocity of feelings and positive development of your relationship. A girl who has had such a dream may be asked to marry in 3 months.
4 o'clock in the morning - in reality, you will find an opportunity to save face and at the same time abandon the business that bothers you or end the relationship with the person with whom you are already tired.
4 pm - in reality, changes will be made to your plans. Your disappointment in a dream will turn into positive emotions in reality, and joy in a dream promises the need to rethink the situation due to the intervention of an outsider.
5 pm symbolizes the need to concentrate so as not to miss the chance to demonstrate your skills and professional skills to a person who can influence your destiny.
5 am - a pleasant surprise awaits you from your colleagues. If in a dream you feel annoyed because you are not sleeping so early, you will have to return to solving the problem that you were dealing with 2 weeks ago.
6 am - in reality, you need to overcome laziness so as not to miss a profitable project that will bring you a solid income.
6 pm - you need to overcome timidity and shyness so that your dream can come true.
7 am - your life plan for the near future needs adjustment, so heated debates with your superiors or your immediate circle await you.
It’s 7 pm, and you need to go somewhere - in reality, you will be able to destroy the networks set up by slanderers, and victory over your ill-wishers will be quite easy.
8 am and 8 pm are numbers that are evidence of your organizational skills and desire for power, but you need to show that you can lead better than your competitors.
9 am means that you need to step up your activities and not miss a profitable offer, which from your point of view will be very unusual, but will bring profit. For women, this dream promises a quick marriage.
9 pm means that your efforts will be crowned with success if you are in a good mood in the dream.

Actions with a watch in a dream

The plot action in the dream provides the second key to interpretation. Depending on what happens to the clock in a dream, the interpretation is adjusted:

Finding a watch means new things to do and worries that will require time and effort.
Breaking a clock is a subconscious desire to stop time.
Buying a watch means consciously and voluntarily accepting responsibility.
Choosing a watch means you will simultaneously receive several profitable offers.
Giving a watch signifies the need to devote time to another person.
Putting on a watch is a subconscious desire to streamline your life, distribute time wisely, and stop wasting energy.
Repairing a watch yourself means the successful restoration of broken personal or business ties, reconciliation after a quarrel.
Winding a watch means rapid changes, new plans and hopes.

If the dreamer's watch was stolen in a dream, he needs to prepare for the loss of time due to someone else's fault. It could be a tedious and hopeless legal battle or someone else's conflict.

You asked what time it is

The dream book also considers why you dream about time, which you learn from other people.
If you asked what time it was, and you were told that it was: One o'clock (the time of day is not important), your efforts will bring well-deserved success and will bring you closer to your goal. Moreover, the more you like the people to whom you asked the question, the faster you will get the desired result.

2 – for three weeks you will have to sort things out with a friend who has begun to avoid you.

3 – you need to control yourself when meeting unpleasant people, otherwise you will cause a lot of negative emotions to others.

4 – a journey awaits you, and the more pleasant the voice of your interlocutor, the more positive your impressions of the trip will be.

6 – an unexpected business trip awaits you if the voice was male, and an entertainment trip if the voice was female.

7 - soon you will hear an unexpected declaration of love, which may end in marriage if the voice of the person answering you in the dream was pleasant.

Past or future

1. You dream about a period from your past.
Large-scale meaning: history repeats itself. In a personal sense: a dream with an episode of childhood or youth is, of course, impressive. After waking up, nostalgia and memories flood in. But if we put emotions aside, we will notice that the subconscious brings up a situation from childhood that is somewhat reminiscent of today’s circumstances. In childhood, we are bolder, more carefree, more joyful and energetic. Perhaps, to solve today's problem, it is precisely these qualities that are missing.

2. You dream about supposedly events of your future.

Large-scale meaning: time is not one-dimensional, it has an infinite number of future options. In my personal understanding:

If the events of the dream are positive, then the subconscious mind suggests what you should strive for, what you should desire.
If you see a bad or even catastrophic situation, then the dream warns against such an option for the development of the future.

No matter how fascinating or shocking the dream may seem, such dreams should not be considered prophetic or prophetic. Not everyone has the talent to see prophetic dreams. The owner of such a gift is always clearly aware of when a dream contains a prophecy, and when it is just one of the usual dreams.

We recommend: When do you have prophetic dreams?

And if they asked you

Time-related numbers may also have additional meanings if you answered the question:

The hour promises financial profit.
2 – significant events await you.
3 – you need to eliminate your mistakes within 3 weeks.
4 – the business you started will bring profit within 4 years.
6 – there has been progress in your health.
7 – physical work awaits you.
9 – changes for the better await you.

Unfortunately, the dream book does not consider all possible combinations of numbers on the dial, but it also notes that spending 9 hours on something means good news, devoting 8 hours to pleasant activities in a dream means successfully solving legal problems, and making an appointment for 5 hours - to a successful coincidence of circumstances for 5 days.
