Dead Bridge in dreams
Transition — the place between what you are leaving and what you are crossing into.

The base reading of Bridge
Bridges are about transition. A strong bridge crossed easily is a transition you have prepared for and earned. A rickety bridge is doubt. A bridge that collapses behind you is the dictionary closing a door — you cannot go back to where you were.
Being stuck on a bridge, unable to move in either direction, is a recognizable state for anyone in the middle of a major life decision. The dream is not telling you which side to go to; it is telling you that staying on the bridge is not a sustainable option.
Where you often see it. A bridge over a river. A bridge half-built. A bridge with a figure waiting on the other side. The dream uses the bridge for transition — the place between what you are leaving and what you are crossing into.
What it is not. A bridge is not always crossed. The dictionary often reads the unwalked bridge as a transition still in deliberation.
