Islamic Interpretation
(Bridge, Stone bridge, Overpass) An arched bridge or viaduct appearing in a dream points to doubtful affairs, ordinary inquiries, or matters pertaining to earthly versus pious interests. It may also symbolize one's spouse, or the removal of anxieties and difficulties. Traveling across an arched bridge or along a viaduct signifies operating a conveyance. A curved or stone bridge further denotes abundance, comfort, extended life, an ailment, abandoning loyalty, or violating a commitment. An arched bridge might represent an intermediary, a knowledgeable individual, or an authority, unless it directs toward a repulsive location or an impasse. Traversing an arched bridge leading to a sovereign's residence foretells acquiring wealth or wedding a distinguished person. An unfamiliar bridge symbolizes the present life, especially if it links the town to the graveyard. It could likewise stand for a vessel or the Sirat Bridge of Judgment Day, as the final obstacle prior to paradise. Crossing an arched bridge in a dream indicates passing from the temporal realm to the eternal afterlife, particularly encountering departed spirits, exploring unknown regions, witnessing unusual sights, or experiencing being lifted by a bird, engulfed by an animal, tumbling into a pit, ascending to the skies—all of which may signify recuperation from sickness, embarking on distant travel, or returning from extended absence. Reaching the far side to find fertile land, verdant meadows, or an elderly lady means financial gains and success. If the opposite end opens to a mosque, it signals accomplishing one's aims, realizing aspirations, or undertaking hajj to the Sacred House in Mecca. Becoming a bridge oneself implies gaining broad influence, serving as a source of motivation for others, or becoming someone whose guidance and support are sought. Passing over a timber bridge warns of encountering a company of dissemblers. (Also see Bridge)
