In English slang the heart is referred to as the ticker. Due to this and the fact that clocks are circular with hands moving in circular paths they represent the heart, circulation system and emotions in dreams. This still holds if the clock is digital in the dream.
To move in a clockwise direction also symbolizes your heart and in this case indicates it would be wise for you to following the advise of the dream.
To move in an anti-clockwise direction is telling you that what you are doing is not wise for your heart.
