Broken Bridge in Dreams

To see a broken bridge in your dreams indicates that you feel lost and about to collapse due to emotional and mental pressure building up on you. These heavy burdens gradually casts its full weight down onto you. Thus, envisioning a broken bridge is symbolic of this. A broken bridge in your dreams may suggest that there’s a collapse in your awake self. Things such as relationships and opportunities are falling apart and you are that pillar trying to hold onto the bridge. This can also mean that there is a lack of communication and interaction with others.

  1. i am trying to cross the other part of the river. when water rises, i saw a high space where i could walk safely to the bridge and cross the river. but since it is too high, i persevere and took the place. as i continuously walking, the river continuously rise and the place is gets challenging and i fear it if i could be able to cross the river. when i finally reach the tip of the bridge and started to cross the other side. the bridge suddenly collapse. i cried and i get awaken. what could possibly the meaning of this?

  2. Since I’ve got social anxiety I am not interacting too much with others in the first place – but my first broken bridge dream I’ve had right after I was betrayed and humiliated by the first person I’ve came to regularly talk to (since years) and even started to consider to be a friend.

    In that dream I was actually the one demolishing the bridge to make it impassible for everyone trying to get over that gap in the future. – Considering the circumstances it made and still makes a lot of sense to me.

    The second broken bridge dream I’ve had last night after getting to know for sure that there was someone who really cares about me and actually really tries hard to be a good friend to me.

    In that dream the bridge (of course a different one as in the first dream but still the same symbol) was still broken – almost like clean cut off between the starting-end ending piece – but when I was about to almost fall down, clinging onto a tiny broken part a bit away from the solid start of that bridge – there was a bunch of people standing on it, even some children, offering me hand to help me back onto safe grounds.

    I love analyzing my dreams since I can almost always remember most of them or at least the parts important to me and this two bridge dreams just made 100% sense to me (except for the children on that bridge since I’ve never liked children too much to be honest and almost never have any appearing in my dreams at all)

  3. I had a dream I was walking in woods peaceful & saw a stream with a weird concrete path not bridge over it . I decided lay on one side & then there was a small concrete wall behind me. I needed to lay down on my belly & hold on.whilsft the concrete ledge & small wall crumbled. I was aware there were people I worked with lived close by , & next I was saved by fire brigade who rolled me off bridge ( people from work are not close friends , just acquaintances ) .
    It was a beautiful & tranquil .

  4. I had a dream that I was driving on a bridge and all of a sudden I see that part of the bridge is missing. I always make it over the missing part and make it to the other side of the bridge that isn’t broken. But the anxiety of it consumes my entire dream until I wake up. Sometimes if I don’t wake up, ill encounter the bridge missing a spot again but it’s coming from the other direction.

    • I had a very similar dream to yours the other night, except that I was walking across the bridge when I suddenly saw the missing part. I made it over the gap but kneeled down afterwards to gather myself before continuing across the stone bridge.

  6. I had this dream where my wife called me that we should go over the bridge where she would take our baby girl to a clinic for treatment then we go home from there. But on getting to middle of the bridge we discovered the bridge is only half way through, so my wife climb down. I tried to lower our daughter down but the risk would be too much so I took her and went back out of the bridge with her. Then I discovered she was wearing to lite clothes so I took her to get her better clothes that would cover her well. Then I woke up.

  8. I dreamt I was driving over a bridge when all of a sudden I noted it was collapsing in the middle. I got out of my car and mysteriously my entire house was teetering on this bridge behind me. The bridge felt soft under my feet. I remember worrying about getting the things out of my house so I wouldn’t be destitute. ???

I am 36, single mom of 2 kids I was dreaming that I was walking in a narrow place, then I finally find an ugly door that made of steel I quickly open it and saw a totally collapse foot bridge but not hard for me to climb up to cross to other sides. then on my right side I saw a bridge that is about to collapse too but I feel afraid if I used it it will fall and i will fall too. so I choose to cont. walking on the collapse bridge and it was very easy for me to climb up then I finally see an open space that makes me feel happy and I cont. walking on then see some person not so close to me but I know her in person she walk with me and she offer me to share her umbrella because It was raining but her umbrella got broke so we just laugh together and the rains stop. then she was gone I am again walking alone until I reach into a building I know it was the building I used to park myself and stand bye in real life. but when I go up it look different I saw people in construction working then I saw a beautiful clean white goat then I ask myself and smile why there’s a goat in here? then I wake up it already late 9:45am already.

  11. My 87 yr. Old Dad and I were driving on a scenic beautiful road and then we were on this high bridge over a large river. We could see that the road/bridge was broken in two and that we needed to stop, slow down or were going to go over. We saw thst other people were on the “right” road to get it across. I wondered how I missed that. The feeling of almost falling was very pertinent.

  12. I’m in the woods I loose my way and come across an old green arched wooden bridge… Which joins to higher grounds still Woodlands…. Behind me is a green field and a wire fence…. Underneath is just lower ground no water. I go to cross the bridge and realise all the wood is rotten and I am unable to cross…. I then begin to fear that others may get injured crossing bridge, and try to find a way to close it off.

  13. I’m driving my car inside this building. I come to a part of the building where there is an opening to drive on a bridge to go down to the ground which is about three stories down. As I get on the bridge, I notice that there is a gaping hole in the railing. The car heads straight down to the ground. I hang on tight to the steering wheel and say all the way down that it’s going to be ok. When I hit the ground, I jump up and walk away while my son is trying to figure out what happened. There was also a passenger (Fanessa Washington) in the car that was terrified. I don’t know what happened to her.

  14. I was driving my car on this extremely high, arching bridge. On my way to the middle of it, it completely is cut off and I didn’t see it until it was too late, I didn’t even have a chance to hit the brakes because the cut off came so quick.. so somehow while in the middle of the air, I was able to jump out of my car onto the bridge’s supporting beams (or maybe it was a second bridge I can’t remember now) and dangled there looking down and remembering how scared I was. I then inched my way to the side (like a child on monkey bars) to the edge of the cliff and was safe. That’s all I remember but the biggest memory was when I looked down and the amount of fear I had.

  15. My dream I was driving up a bridge and noticed it was broken so we started driving in reverse and I pulled over in a rest stop and called my mom and she picked up my kids and I. Although, we were in a small car 🚗 it felt good.

  17. I dreamt of a broken bridge that I could not cross because it was dangerous and damaged on the other side. I would have to walk in a tight space that would not allow me to move the way I was intended to move.

  18. In my dream last night we crossed over a river where the water was high and pretty turbulent. The bridge was beginning to crumble but we were able to reach the other side safely. However when we got to other side we noticed all the other bridges near by we’re destroyed and watched one fall right before our eyes. The ground was flooded and we were trapped and couldn’t get to the road. We didn’t want to risk going back over the half broken bridge. We were trying to solve the problem and then I woke up.

  19. Nightmares have been a part of my life for as long as i can remember. I have always been afraid of the dark and when I was young had to take medicine to make me fall asleep. To this day I still have to sleep with my tv on and i am 35yrs old. I have had several recurring dreams, even a few dreams that have came true. More than I care to remember. I do have dreams about driving to a bridge and the bridge is broken so I have to try to figure out how to get over it. There are times when the bridge is extremely high and i am terrified of heights. There are also times when the water is very rough. I could go on forever about my dreams because that’s how bad they are.
