where the dream is set
Dreaming of bridge
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To cross a bridge safely foretells a difficult matter brought to good resolution, a passage completed.
Drawn down, it warns of A bridge that sways or gives way warns of a risky undertaking, a step taken before the ground is sure.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The bridge is transition itself, the crossing between two states of being; to cross it is to consent to change.
Drawn down, it warns of A broken or endless bridge marks a passage the dreamer fears to make, suspended between the old life and the new.
When it appears with another
Bridge in company
bridge + water
The crossing and what flows beneath it. You are passing over a depth of feeling; keep moving, but do not look only at your feet.
Did you dream this?
Keep it before it fades
Write the dream down in your journal and the cards will name its symbols for you, or have the whole dream read in full.
