Dream of the Grim Reaper Holding a Broken Clock - dream meaning with inherited lore

The Grim Reaper stands holding a clock with stopped hands. Even when I check it, time doesn’t move, and I feel uneasy or unsettled.

Korean lore: Traditionally, the grim reaper has sometimes been interpreted as a symbol of major change or an ending. When a stopped clock appears too, it may be seen as a scene reflecting worries about time or a situation that feels stuck. (This interpretation draws on a folk reading of the grim reaper as a threshold in life, and considers the clock’s condition in the context of the dream.)

Through the mind: You may have a dream like this when a deadline or important date is approaching but progress feels slow. Rather than meaning that time will actually stop, it may be a scene from your mind asking you to look at what feels stuck right now.
