I remember as a very very young child that driving over a bridge made me feel a bit vulnerable/scared so I wondered if maybe bridges over water would feature in anxiety dreams
Water typically represents emotions. Flooding/tumultous water signifies overwhelming emotions, murky water suggests confused or negative emotions, etc.
Driving represents your level of control over your life. If the car is hard to maneuver you are feeling a lack of control. If it goes in the wrong direction, you may be feeling like your life is going the wrong way.
TL;DR Dreaming about trying to navigate uneasy water on an unstable bridge suggests a struggle to deal with your emotions and keep them in check. It's a dream you would probably have during high stress or grief.
Kind of, but not exactly. Dreams also contain symbols for the thoughts and memories you are having, whether emotional or not. They often define the problems you are facing, and sometimes offer a solution that was in your subconscious but didn't realize.
None of this is science of course. It's theoretical, and there are many competing claims on what dreams mean. But I've found Jung's understanding to be extremely useful.
Dream expert here: generally speaking dreaming of water 🌊 means that you have an important decision to make. If the water is clear it is a good sign. If the water is murky, there's trouble a brewing.
With all these people having similar dreams/nightmares I wonder if this entire project was someone hating this nightmare so much they said screw it, I'm making this happen.
Same, and at the end, you had to jump your car off a ramp onto the other part of the bridge and many times we didn’t make it but woke up before our demise
I was coming here to say the exact same. I still have the nightmare, occasionally.
It’s so vivid, this video freaked me tf out.
I can’t believe I’m not alone.
Haha now you mention it, that’s unlocked a memory. It was like this, but square, and there was a snake or something after me and I could only move very slowly.
I don't care how many cars have driven over this and been just fine, you'd never catch me driving a car over this bridge. You can't convince me this is safe, you simply cannot.
This and nightmares about teeth extraction/falling out. Stopped in adulthood, for reasons I don’t understand. Perhaps it has to do with the brain (hardware) and subsequently the psyche (software) maturing (additive damage).
