Dreaming of a Bridge
bridge, crossing, footbridge, viaduct · mixed
Crossing a bridge foretells success; going under it or seeing it give way, trouble and danger.
What happens in the dream
- You cross a bridge safely: you will overcome your difficulties, with prosperity and success in love
- You pass under a bridge: you will never feel fully at ease
- A long, broken-down bridge winding into darkness: deep melancholy and heartbreak
- The bridge collapses with you on it: a very grave sign
- Clear water beneath: prosperity; muddy water: poor returns for your efforts
- An obstacle or delay on the bridge: illness or a setback
- The bridge gives way before you: beware of treachery and false admirers
How you felt
- Transition: a sense of moving from one stage to another
- Apprehension: a fear that the crossing won't hold
Ask yourself
- What am I crossing over to?
- What is holding me on the other side?
