Bridge
Bridges represent transitions, connections between two states of being, and the act of overcoming obstacles. Crossing a bridge symbolizes moving from one phase of life to another. A broken bridge may indicate fear of change or feeling unable to make a necessary transition. Building a bridge suggests creating connections and solutions.
Flood
Flood dreams represent emotions that have breached their normal containment — feelings that are overwhelming and out of control. This can relate to grief, anger, love, or any intense emotion. Floods can also symbolize major life changes that sweep away the old and bring new circumstances.
