Our dreams represent the way we cope with our thoughts and emotions. While a drawbridge in a dream suggests self isolation, blocking negativity, maintenance of composure and keeping yourself protected. The meaning of drawbridge can have several levels of interpretation making it difficult to determine the exact mindset the subject is trying to project via his/her dream representation.
With all raising and lowering of drawbridges in dreams, it shows us that our mental well-being and mental state might be crumbling. On one level they suggest not leaving our worlds unprotected as we should be protecting ourselves by taking care of our inner world as much as possible. On another level it suggests we are concerned that our mental happiness – mental well being – would get contaminated by outside negativity or people who might have ill intentions surrounding them despite the value and amount of benefits from social interactions.
The dream symbol of drawbridges connect people across the big divide of life and allow them to live in harmony with one another. It is important to stay connected with others and not isolate yourself from events that happen around you for fear of being hurt by them.
