Bridge keeper

A bridge keeper in a dream is the dream's image of a worker responsible for whether you may cross at all. The bridge keeper does not build and does not own; the bridge keeper decides when the bridge is open. The dream brings the bridge keeper when something in your life — a gatekeeping role, a permission controlled by an unimpressive functionary, a small official with a real veto — is currently the deciding factor in whether a passage you need can happen. A bridge keeper greeted with courtesy and the bridge lowered is the dream affirming the value of the small power treated well. A bridge keeper insulted, the bridge raised in response, is the dream noting that the small power was real and the failure to honour it has closed the route.
