Crossing a Bridge in Dreams

To see yourself crossing a bridge in your dreams is highly suggestive of a change or transition about to take place. You are ready, with full confidence to embrace this transition once you take the first step of crossing the bridge and into a new stage in life. This is an prominent part of your life and of course, there will be some nervous feelings involved. Do not let these anxious emotions and butterflies in your stomach hinder you from making this move. To dream that you are crossing the bridge with shaky and unsteady steps denotes your lack of assurance that this new change is better than the old. Dreaming that you are crossing the bridge surrounded by water represents all the mixed feelings you have regarding this matter.

  3. I dreamed i saw a beautiful, ornate stone bridge a little way away, in a major city and i was so excited to cross it. When i came around the corner to the entrance to the bridge, it was empty of the path, no slats or stone, it was edges and rails only and one had to coss the bridge balancing on the edges amd holding the rails. I was scared to cross and noticed there was an alternate path directly underneath that had solid footing. My friends had already crossed and I was trying to decide what to do and I woke up.

  4. I dreamt i crossed a bridge more than once, it was the same bridge every time (big, solid cement bridge) first time I was walking with my children we made it across, but no matter how much we walked after we got off the bridge we couldn’t get anywhere so we went back and someone familiar to me (Can’t remember who it was but I know I know them) was there and we crossed with them and we were in a car crossing the bridge together and were all happy and talking and there was no struggles in moving forward together

  6. I dreamt that there was this huge room in a rectangular shape. It had windows on one wall where the sun light poured in. On the opposite wall there was a metal bridge up against the wall. The bridge had metal rails against the wall and facing the windows. In the middle of the room was a huge body of water, the water was a light blue and clean although I could not see through it as it was moving. At the beginning of the bridge, in the water was a large metal gate secured to a metal arch. The gate was a faded pink and had circular holes throughout. When I began to cross the bridge, the gate began to close. It took awhile to move through the force of the water. For some odd reason, I had an infant resting at the top of my head and I was wearing a hooded sweater which protected the child. When I reached the middle of the bridge, the gate was completely closed and the waves began. It reminded me of waves crashing on a beach with the white in the tips of the waves. The waves increased splashing over and through the metal rail opposite the wall rail. I climbed up onto to the rail against the wall and held on as the waves became violent and splashed up toward me, just reaching my legs. I held on for awhile then the waves stopped and receded to the centre of the room as the water calmed and I continued until I had crossed the bridge into another room which was a waiting room showing what films would be playing in nearby theatres. That’s all I remember. The whole time I watched myself do this from afar.

  9. Lastnight, I dreamed that I was crossing a bridge in a foggy, stormy and cloudy atmosphere. The bridge was very, very high up with no side- rails, and it was over deep, darker ocean water. The bridge was made of concrete and was fairly narrow. I crossed the bridge once at first, told myself I forgot something and went back to the other side of the bridge, then when I got to the other side, I turned around to go back and there was a snake curled up in front of me.. I ran as fast as I could past it and the snake stayed where it was. In the earlier part of my dream, my ex whom I still love had asked me to dance..his current girlfriend was also there and was angry. Then, that’s when I found myself at the bridge from what I remember.

    • Last night I dreamt of crossing over a bridge. As I was crossing it , the bridge started to fall apart and Fire was coming from the side of my destination crumbing the other side as well. Despite mass destruction, I made it to the other side by the very last part of it falling apart.

      Upon reaching the other side, it was perfectly fine. There was just the destruction on the bridge. After the bridge I also found some money.

  11. This is second time I’ve dreamed this this week. Im driving a car and as I come around a bend there’s a glass bridge up through the clouds and then coming out on other side. I know I have to go on that bridge but normally am afraid of heights. Know I won’t die but am afraid enough to wake up from dream

  12. The setting in my first dream, I was driving and had passengers. I got out of the van and then started running across the bridge. The beginning of my second dream, I was at my old church. I stayed for the whole service and worshiped in song, there was crying, joking, following instructions from the pastor, listening to sermon, etc… but at the end of service no-one would take me home so I had to walk. I got to the bridge and started running across it. Both dreams it was night time.

  13. In the last two weeks, I’ve had two dreams about the same bridge. I used to live in the town of the bridge. In reality the bridge is well known, carries vehicles and pedestrians and is over a well known river. In both dreams I am running across this bridge. There are never any cars only people. The first dream while I was running, I was lightly tapping people that I knew as I ran across the bridge. When I got to the end I was smoking a cigarette. I was surrounded by people I knew from when I used to live there. I looked down into the river and there was no water. The second dream, I can’t remember if there where people or obstacles. I just remember running across. It wasn’t as complete as the first one. Both dreams started differently.

  14. I had a dream where I saw myself on a very high narrow wood bridge with some perforations. I was afraid and couldn’t stand on my feet walking across but bent on my waist down griping both sides of the wooden bridge as I walked cautiously in utter fear. after haven trekked a long distance, I managed to stand up on my feet just to gaze on what remained to finish the crossing. Upon standing, I realized that I was close to end of the bridge, then I only I remained standing and hurriedly walked to the end and jumped from it to a landing where I finally sat down on a platform after which I was calling on those who where down to join me up the level where I was sited. what is the meaning of this dream?

  15. my dream started as walking with a couple of others that work with the same company I work for. It appeared to be late fall due to the amount of brown leaves on the ground. They were casually laughing as playing some sort of game. They threw something small into the flowing river that was low and muddy and you (talking to me) that I had to cross over through the water . Day was cloudy (overcast) and I replied.. “no I will cross over the bridge) and so I find did and said I needed to check on my mother. Next thing I know I was inside this house, walking into the kitchen looking for my mom who was not there, which left me wondering where she was. dream over. It’s Oct 17th, 2017. my passed away Nov 02, 2016.

  19. I dreamt that I was staring at a wooden bridge, waiting to cross it. There were many people going across it with ease but I was too scared. I then decided to cross the bridge on my hands and knees but as everyone kept walking across the bridge above the water, the bridge was sinking (only for me) and I started to drown, but eventually made it across the bridge.

  21. Last night I dreamt I was running. It’s as if I was exercising and there were buses passing by I didn’t seem to want to get on any of them. I instead removed any clothing that was making it difficult for me to run.

    I came across an old bridge which in real life I knew from childhood, I had to cross this bridge even though it looked unsafe, on it were homeless people some of which I said hello too and the responded while I continued to cross the bridge.

And met them at the finish cus they same nd i wish i did too but also was glad i didnt! Which is interesting cus im abandoning my friends for a gap year abroad and the crossing a bridge is deffo relevant to the change from alevels to freedom!

  23. Dreamt I was driving my car on to a bridge climbed to the top (bridge was covered in a yellow tarp) and teetered. Went back down the bridge found a family to drive me over the bridge(because I was afraid of the height and the fall). Got to the other side and I got in the drivers seat and drove the family to where they wanted to go. It was weird because in my dream we spoke and they said they were waiting for some one to drive them to their destination because they needed a car and I needed someone to help me over the bridge. The dream ended in me feeling peace but when I woke I felt nervous.

  26. In my dream my boyfriend is driving a white truck, very carelessly on this I’m going to call it a Rollercoaster looking bridge over water. He’s driving extremely fast knowing out of nowhere a plank of the bridge might move up or down without notice. All of the sudden we are struggling to get up the hill of the bridge when a plank moves but we stop just in time before going over into the water. The plank comes back then we do this all of over again

    I was on my was to downtown l.a. with my friends in a light blue car, and we were somewere I can’t quite remember but I looked to the sky and the was a weird ablong helicopter just hovering in the sky, so I told my friends we need to get out of here. But no one was listening to me so I keep trying to get their attention and tell them we need to leave right now so I finally get them so budge and we get in the car and go down the freeway and end up at this wodden 2 story house with huge glass windows, we park the car and walk in, I tell them we need to go to the bathroom and get out of here. Out of no where my bestfriend shows up with my mom and all my syblings, I showed my bestfriend the helicopter in the sky and as we were watching it an authority suv black and white cop car startted to float twords the helicopter and it just sat their and hovering behind the helicpoter and it was sort of tilted slightly, I looked to my friend and said that’s why we need to leave, she said that she would go tell my mom and the kids, as she’s doing that I tell my friends that we need to leave and my mom will drive us, so we all some how fit in the care and start to drive away, we get to a bridge annd as soon as we start going over I look to the right out the window and see a huge chunk of land just dropped into the ocean, you can see it rappidly happening all along the edge of the cosline in random spots, so I see the bridge starting to fall at high speeds so I really quickly unfassen my seatbelt and ggrab my bad and jump out of the back window of the car and jump out, I look back and my little sister kristine is hanging on to my bag and I tried to grab her hand but the ground fell right beneath her so I quckily start to climb upward as the floor of the bridge is going down at and angel and I’m climbing up that angel, some how everytime I tried to get up I did, I was jumjumping to the grass that we just drove in from as the bridge was falling in pieces at my feet but I made it as the timing was utterly perfect, then I look behind me and my mom appears next to me, I thought she had died because she was driving. But we start to walk twords a camofoulged jeep and black helicopter with some type of armed forces surrounding it, in that moment I had also noticed the grass was long and blowing in the choppers blaze of perpellers, but it was also drenched in water, (like the grass in japan, how its sinking slowly and theirs water on their land.) Then I woke up ..this dream really scared me I woke up in a panic can Anyone inturpret ?

  29. I had a strange dream last night that I was greeted by a celebrity Pauly Shore of all people I know strange, anyway in my Dream I looked up and there was a Bridge and it had a sign above it saying HOLY BIBLE, as we were walking across the bridge Pauly was talking to me saying as we walk across this Bridge lets speak of Gods work and said isn’t it beautiful, but the bridge didn’t look so great there was things all along the bridge like old small paper books, my daughter ran ahead of us, on each side of the bridge was some old buildings and pillers that were vertical at one point my daughter ran ahead of us while he talked to me, I noticed my daughter had crossed the bars on the bridge with both hands out not holding on reaching for one of the vertical pillars, I screamed for her to hold on as she touched the vertical pillar, at this point I panicked and didn’t know what to do or how I was going to save her, I could see tree’s and water at first my dream went kind of crazy like first she fell in the water but I was trying to correct my dream where I was trying to come up with a solution to save her, but at that point I woke up! So glad I did that scared the heck out of me.

  30. I had a dream that I was crossing a bridge in a vehicle over a body of water. But the thing is I was crossing a bridge with no highway. I was driving as if there was a road but in my dream when I looked down there was no road I could see the water underneath. Can anyone please tell me what this mean?

  31. For a couple years I dreamed of moving out of town, there was a bridge, i had to cross that I was actually afraid of. I’d have nighmares about that bridge. I was going through a bad marriage and wanted togiveit up, so we decided to move out the state to seek change. Moved out the state things got worse, we decided to move back home, on the way back as I approached that bridge i had anxiety attacks back to back. I actually cried because i didn’t want to drive over the bridge and husband refused to drive. I prayed for clarity of mind to cross the bridge and I did, I ended my troubled marriage that I’ve been too long waiting to end the same day I returned home, though I was afraid to . I Dreamed about that bridge, two weeks after and drove over it with no fears and was happy. So therefore I see dreams really have meanings that relates to reality.

  32. Dreamt I was walking back and forth on a green bridge that felt very shaky for me. I was walking hesitantly. There was a child there too that was jumping all around, hanging on the ledge and it was steady for her. I was very nervous warning her she may fall into the water, and trying to get her down we were very high up. She continued playing in a dangerous manner. Not sure if I ended up crossing in the end

  33. I remember the beginning of the dream being that I was already on the bridge. There were other people on the bridge with me. I did not know them. They were looking over the side, not crossing. I stopped to look over the side and saw water in the distance. Not flowing under the bridge where it should have been. The water looked like it was damned up or just not flowing. The dry land indicated that there should have been to water falls. Then the water started to flow. It seemed like I need to then hurry to get to the other side incase the water was too forceful as it came up to the bridge. I made it across. However, just as I was about to step off I noticed as I looked down that the bridge surface was a glass like substance that was cracked(was not an old bridge it was sturdy) I was cautious not to step on the cracks for fear I would cut my foot. I did not see my foot in the dream. I felt safe and secure when I had finally crossed.

  34. In my dream I was walking across a sturdy metal strong bridge as I looked down I noticed water just lapping over the ground, I didn’t feel scared I just kept crossing the bridge. I looked to my right and a feral cat was crossing the bridge with me, I wasn’t afraid of the feral cat but felt like I needed to let her make her way over the bridge without getting in her way. I made it across to the other side of the bridge cautiously and steady 🙂

  36. My dream was that I was driving a car with a friend in the passenger seat and we were on a old back road and trying to get to the main road. I was going down hill and right before the main road was the bridge over water and parts of it were missing, but only where the tires go, and there was no way to get my tires onto it, and in the dream, I didn’t want to take time to try to find another route. So I gunned it and slid on the under carriage all the way across and made it and then once I got to the main road, it dropped off into nothing and I woke up. … Now I’m someone who dreams all the time and don’t think much about them, but this dream has stuck with me like something is telling me to pay attention to it. Any ideas? (I am debating on looking for a new job, but nervous about it.)
