Possible associations
A clock may evoke meeting a deadline or measuring a process. Stopping or speeding up draws attention to the difference between actual time and how it feels.
Do you choose to check the time, or does someone remind you? An imposed deadline differs from a schedule you set yourself. The dream display does not date a real event. Repeated checking may evoke wanting a clear marker to measure progress in a process that remains uncertain.

A broken clock: a disrupted measure of time
A broken clock may evoke a familiar way of measuring time or deadlines no longer working. The image can focus attention on how you judge time rather than on its passage alone.
If it fits, review whether the time you allow for a task is realistic.
An old clock: a pace from the past
An old clock can symbolize a pace or time rule learned in the past remaining influential. It may invite a distinction between a useful rhythm and an expectation that no longer fits.
If it fits, compare an old deadline expectation with your present circumstances.
A new clock: establishing your rhythm
A new clock may evoke a wish to use time deliberately or rearrange your pace. The new measuring tool can invite attention to a rhythm that suits you before trying to meet every demand.
If it fits, set aside one interval in your day that does not require rushing.
Symbolic and cultural reading
A clock face offers an analogy for dividing limited time.
