I *always* have dreams like that. Actually, I always have. When my ex and I were together, if I dreamed that he cheated on me or something, I'd have this annoyed feeling with him the rest of the day.
These days, I have two types of dreams. In some, I am hanging out with him (although we are not together) and sometimes we kiss but it is very clear we're not back together. In others, we are back together but he tells me he is leaving all over again. Either way, waking up after these dreams is hard.
As for the clock, I would stop reading so much into it. All these things are material.. it's not going to determine whether or not you divorce. He may be getting a new clock because right now he is still on the path towards you guys being apart -- obviously he's on that path, because he hasn't asked you to come home -- but that doesn't mean it can't/won't happen.
