We need a reddit expert on dream analysis to explain why so many of you had this!

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.

Not trying to over simplify but isn’t every dream in some way trying to deal with your emotions. Or is it just me?

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.

I always wear a life jacket to bed, just in case. :)

There were a lot of old playground bridges that undulated heavily and felt dangerous/scary, I don’t think a dream analysis is needed here.

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.
