What does it mean to dream about a broken bridge?

Answer 1

It means that you are having to struggle over a major change in your life. The bridge symbolizes some sort of transition you need to make. The fighting could reflect a struggle within yourself as you try to make the right decision, or it could reflect other difficulties that have to be overcome before you can complete your transition.

[A detailed description of the dream is posted on the Discussion page.]

The bridge in this dream is a metaphor representing the dreamer's life. The dream has repeated through the years, gradually changing form. Through childhood, the bridge in the dream was incomplete, with bare steel girders stretching out beyond the completed section. This symbolized the "incomplete" or immature nature of the dreamer's development as a person and knowledge of where he/she wanted to go in life.

... The dreamer reports a paralyzing fear experienced when trying to cross the bridge. That suggests that the dream functioned as a catharsis, a channel that released the dreamer's pent-up tensions and stress. The exaggeration of daily stress into an overwhelming terror is characteristic of dreams, and particularly of repetitive dreams. Research indicates that the release of stress through nightmares allows the dreamer to function more efficiently in real life.

... Now as an adult, the dreamer sees a completed bridge and recognizes it as an actual nearby bridge in real life. In these dreams, the focus is no longer on the construction of the bridge itself but on events taking place on the bridge, as well as the destination at the end of the bridge. In one dream, the bridge provides an escape route from attackers, leading the dreamer to safety.

... All of this suggests that the dreamer needed to focus on developing the self through childhood, represented by the construction of the bridge. In adulthood, the personality and life direction have been established, so the dreams can focus on problems that occur (attackers) and the dreamer's personal strength (completed bridge) along with the ability to solve those problems (escape.)
