Islamic Interpretation
A bridge in a dream may symbolize the supports of one’s faith, the straight path, or even the Sirat itself. It can represent knowledge, spiritual guidance, prayer, fasting, or any means by which one escapes worldly harm or punishment in the hereafter. It may also signify a devout person who endures others’ harm with patience. A bridge can point to the means of fulfilling needs, a connection to authority, or a close relative or friend. Each bridge should be interpreted by its structure: a stone, canopied bridge may suggest access to a ruler or senior official; a wooden bridge with missing rails may denote a secretary, chamberlain, or even a corrupt intermediary. If a bridge collapses or appears transformed into gold, it can reflect the fall of a state or the opposite. Becoming a bridge oneself signals rising to leadership, gaining esteem, and becoming someone others rely upon. (Also see Arched bridge, Bridge of the Day of Judgement, Contract, Knot, Transformation)
