Dreaming of a Fast-Moving Clock - dream meaning with inherited lore

Each time you check the clock, the minute hand is moving quickly, or a great deal of time has suddenly passed. You may feel restless, with tasks still unfinished and your body unable to keep up.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of a clock moving quickly have been interpreted as impatience about missing the right moment or a wish to keep up with change. They are also seen as dreams shaped by awareness of a set time. (In folk dream interpretation, clocks and rapidly passing time are sometimes linked to awareness of opportunities and deadlines.)
