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.
Key
Keys represent access, solutions to problems, and the power to open locked aspects of life or self. Finding a key suggests discovering a solution or gaining access to something previously closed off. A golden key represents important or spiritual access. Losing keys reflects anxiety about losing access to important areas of your life — security, identity, home. A key that doesn't fit suggests trying the wrong approach.
