Stopped clock
A clock with its hands no longer moving — a time-keeper that has stopped keeping time.
A stopped clock in a dream is the dream's image of a time-keeper that has stopped keeping time. The face is still there; the function is gone. The dream brings the stopped clock when something in your life — a schedule, an appointment system, a sense of where in a year or a relationship you are — has stopped advancing while you continue to consult it. A stopped clock noticed and rewound is the dream affirming that the maintenance is being done. A stopped clock still trusted as if it were running, with appointments arranged by it, is the dream noting that the broken instrument is still being used to plan, and the plans are going to be wrong by exactly the amount the clock has missed.
