An interpretation of bridge dreams

An interpretation of bridge dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. At its simplest, a bridge is a route over an obstacle. So in dreams a bridge can symbolize overcoming an obstacle. A bridge connects two points together, and in dreams that idea can be used to symbolize bringing people together—or bringing yourself together, such as when you connect your values with your actions, or your intellect with your will. A bridge can symbolize transitioning from one phase or place in life to another. Such as when transitioning from living with family to living on your own, or from single life to married life, or from professional to retired. In this sense, a bridge symbolizes an important juncture in your life, between two points. For example, a student finishing law school dreams he walks through a city and comes to a raging river. It has a bridge over it that’s tricky to cross. He manages it and continues on his journey. The dream uses the bridge to symbolize his transition to professional life as an attorney, and the raging river symbolizes the bar exam. By passing it, he makes the transition. The city symbolizes his public life, tied closely with his choice of career. Anything that “bridges the gap” can be symbolized as a bridge. Being across a bridge from someone you know can symbolize a divide between you. A divide might be caused by hurt feelings, difference of opinion, or different backgrounds. Or it might be a matter of opportunity or personal connection. For example, a man dreams that he sees the woman he’s been flirting with, on the other side of a bridge. As he tries to reach her, the bridge crumbles. It’s a way of depicting that no matter how he tries, he can’t get her interest. He’s more attracted to her than she is to him.
