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.
Monkey
Monkeys represent the playful, mischievous, and clever aspects of the mind. In Buddhism, the 'monkey mind' refers to the restless, unsettled nature of thought. Monkeys in dreams may indicate a need for more play and humor, or conversely, that you're being too frivolous. In Hindu tradition, the monkey god Hanuman represents devotion and strength. Monkeys can also represent mimicry or copying others.
