When you see a pocket watch in a dream, that can have multiple meanings.
The first is that you overslept or that you have a bad sense of timing.
You should probably organize yourself better so that you wouldn’t be late for important meetings all the time.
Also, a pocket watch can suggest that you often do everyday chores half-ass and that you can’t wait to finish work and go home.
Buying a pocket watch
Dreaming of buying a pocket watch means that you constantly have the need to be unique and different from others.
You have an unusual style not because you enjoy it, but because you want people to notice you.
Other people will think that you are insecure as long as you don’t do things honestly.
When you finally realize what makes you special, you will not have the need to stand out using your physical appearance.
Dreaming of selling a pocket watch
If you are dreaming of selling a pocket watch, it means that you will have to sacrifice something valuable in your life.
That sacrifice will be the result of bad finances or big life changes.
You might have to sell something that you inherited, or you will accept a business offer to work abroad because of better earnings.
When it comes to the latter, being away from your friends and family will be hard on you, but you will not have a choice.
Receiving a pocket watch as a gift
Dreaming of getting a pocket watch from someone means that a person you don’t like will stalk you.
You will meet someone who will show feelings for you right away and admit that they want to be with you.
You will try to nicely explain to them that you are not interested, out of courtesy, but that will not bring wanted results.
You will have to be firm in the end or even be a little rude or unpleasant. You will feel bad for hurting them, but you believe that it is better to act like that than to give them false hope.
Dreaming about bestowing a pocket watch to someone
When you are dreaming of bestowing a pocket watch to a stranger, it means that you probably can’t forgive yourself for the mistakes from the past.
You are constantly going back to it, so you miss the opportunities to make progress. It is time to give yourself a second chance because you have deserved it despite the sins of the past.
If you dream of bestowing a pocket watch to someone you know well, it means that they will confide a secret in you.
They think of you as a loyal friend, so they will tell you something that they have been quiet about for a long time.
You will have to try really hard not to talk about it with other people since you will promise not to tell anyone.
Dream meaning of finding a pocket watch
This dream means that you will meet an influential person who can help you find a job or make progress in your career.
You will make sure to gain their trust, but you will have to be careful so that they don’t get the impression that you just want to take advantage of them.
Find a way to make everything seem subtle, or your plan could fail.

If you truly want something, there is probably a way to get it.

You can’t organize yourself, and your days are not long enough to do everything you have planned. You often can’t finish all of your obligations because of that.
Try to make a realistic plan and stick to it.
Dreaming of breaking a pocket watch
If you are dreaming of breaking a pocket watch, it means that you will be disappointed because you will have to postpone a trip, or you will miss a family gathering because of work.
Considering that you have been looking forward to it for a long time, you will have a hard time when you realize that your obligations will not let you enjoy it.
However, you can’t lose hope and motivation. If you put in an effort, you will succeed in your intentions next time without a doubt.
Repairing a pocket watch
When you are dreaming of repairing a pocket watch, it means that you will face a difficult task.

Ask for advice from someone who has more experience than you, and don’t be afraid to ask other people to help you.
To throw a pocket watch away
If you are dreaming of throwing a pocket watch away, that usually symbolizes your need to cut someone out of your life.
That person probably affects your mood badly with their negativity.

The symbolism of a gold pocket watch
A dream in which you see or have a gold pocket watch on has a positive meaning because it predicts wealth.

Dreaming of snatching a pocket watch from someone
Snatching someone’s pocket watch in a dream symbolizes ambition.
You are a person who knows what they want and how to achieve it. Nothing is too difficult for you as long as you’re reaching your goals.
However, be careful not to burn all your bridges along the way. After all, you won’t have anyone to celebrate your success with when you finally achieve it.
Dreaming that someone snatched your pocket watch
If you dreamed that someone snatched your pocket watch, it implies you should be careful about who you collaborate with, i.e., who you share your ideas and plans with.
There’s someone in your circle who will try to use you to achieve their own goals and interests.
Talk about intimate and important matters only with people who haven’t let you down before.
Dreaming that a pocket watch shows midnight or noon
When you dream of seeing the hands of a pocket watch aligned at the number 12, it’s a sign you have a secret admirer.
There’s someone nearby who likes you but is afraid to admit it. Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that you’re already taken or that you seem unapproachable and uninterested.
Dreaming that the hands on a pocket watch aligned on another number
Dreams like this usually indicate you’ve made a strong impression on someone without even realizing it.
You’ve impressed them with your charisma, intelligence, attitude, or physical appearance.
Because of this, your reputation in the place where you live will drastically increase. Don’t let it go to your head; remain dignified and approachable as you have been.
The meanings of dreams can be a lot simpler. If you have recently seen a pocket watch in person or on TV, that has made an impression on you. The same applies to the collection of pocket watches if you have one.
