Dreaming that my older self fixes a stopped clock - dream meaning with inherited lore

I’m old, and I open a stopped clock to inspect and repair its inner workings. The hands start moving again, or I watch the clock for a while after fixing it.

Korean lore: A scene of fixing a stopped clock can be read as trying to get time or progress back on track. Even when old age and a clock appear together, rather than seeing them as a fixed omen, it may help to consider whether the clock started again and how you felt then. (In folk dream interpretations, a clock is sometimes connected with the passage of time or a schedule.)

Through the mind: You may want to restart a plan you’ve put off, or feel that time has gone to waste. Whether you felt relieved or rushed when the clock started moving again may relate to the pace you’re keeping now.
