A dream about a clock running without a second hand - dream meaning with inherited lore

The hands or second hand inside the clock seem frozen, but the clock keeps running. You hear it ticking, yet the time doesn’t change, or its movement seems somehow out of sync.

Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be a widely established traditional interpretation of this kind of clock scene. A clock that runs while its hands stay still can be read lightly as a mismatch between how things are moving and how they feel. (This interpretation looks at what a clock might symbolize in this scene, rather than drawing on a specific folk tradition.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a situation where you’re busy but can’t really feel any progress or change. It may also come up when you want to check whether you’re heading where you want to go, rather than focusing on how fast you’re working.
