Alarm clock
As a symbol
Alarm clocks in dreams are often a reminder of our limitations. These may be reflections of actual problems (such as running out of time), symbolic of poor time management, or completely conceptual (such as failing to complete a life-cycle task before that cycle ends). This alarm clock could appear in the dreams of someone who perceives their time on earth as `growing short?.
Use in dream recall
Studies indicate that REM takes place with regularity about every ninety minutes through sleeping time. Dream recall is heightened from 20% to 70% or more when patients are awakened during dreamtime. By setting your alarm clock to go off either six hours or seven-and-a-half hours after going to sleep, it is likely you will have more vivid dream recall.
Is the clock a hopeful symbol (e.g. `at last the time has come?), or a fearful one (`time is running out')?
