Dream interpretation

Dreaming of a bridge stands for moving from one stage of life to the next. A real bridge joins two separate banks, and a dream bridge likewise shows that you are standing in the middle of a change, between your old life and something new. Notice what the bridge is like and what flows beneath it, and the meaning becomes clearer.

  • Crossing a strong stone or iron bridge

    However hard the current change feels, its foundation is solid.

  • A rickety wooden bridge

    This speaks of a change where you have little to hold on to.

  • Getting stuck halfway across

    This dream often comes when making a decision or accepting a change has become hard for you.

  • Calm water under the bridge

    This path of change feels fairly safe to you.

  • A rough current under the bridge

    The same change feels far riskier to you.

  • Someone standing on the far side of the bridge

    A relationship or a goal is waiting for you at the end of this crossing.

A bridge carries fear and possibility together. Your effort to cross it in the dream shows how far, deep down, you are able to accept the change.
