The bridge joins two shores: transition, decision and reconciliation. Crossing it is passing into a new stage; a bridge between people is a link renewed.
When the dream feels light
A solid bridge crossed with ease speaks of a transition that goes well and reconciliation.
When the dream feels dark
A broken or swaying bridge points to fear of change, a relationship at risk or a difficult passage.
Ask yourself
What am I crossing from, and to where?

The card of this dream
Six of Swords. Passage to calmer waters, troubles left behind. A ferryman carries a woman and a child in a boat toward the far shore, six swords standing in the boat. It is transition: leaving troubled waters for calmer ones.
