Crossing

Anything we cross in our dreams becomes a symbolic image of transitions and movements in your life. If you are crossing a river in your dream tells you about transitioning across your emotional state that constantly changes or flows. It is a positive symbol of good things to come hence the saying crossing over troubled waters. Crossing over a bridge represents new starting points and new developments in your life. Bridges connect two things from one another. What does that mean to you? If you dream of crossing a flooded bridge it reflects emotional turbulence while you are transitioning from one point of your life to another. Dreaming of crossing a busy street represents your fast pace movements and transitions while you are moving through other peoples path in life. Make sure you get across safely!

Movement described as a type of crossing suggests perseverance into the unknown when you feel that the future is unclear. Like the pioneers who explored uncharted territories over land and sea, the landscape you are crossing often provides clues to the part of you that is undergoing exploration. For example, crossing water would show you exploring emotions, a field can be a way of exploring your roots; a road is a place to explore your life direction. Crossing associated with writing can portray getting something right in the sense of 'dotting the i's and crossing the t's.' Crossing the arms or legs can suggest a sense of blocking the heart or sexual feelings. See Landscape and Scenery.
