Time Pressure
Time Pressure
The old dream-books logged the clock as an omen of news or danger, but not this — the felt pressure of time running out, a deadline bearing down faster than you can move. So read it less as an object and more as a state: the hourglass draining, the hours you can't slow, the task that won't wait. The question underneath is usually not about time at all — what are you afraid you won't finish, or won't reach, before something closes?
