Dreaming of Suicide
suicide, killing oneself, overdose, self-harm · very negative
Traditionally this dream foretells misfortune weighing on you or your interests.
What happens in the dream
- Your sweetheart does so: a disappointment in love made sharper by their unfaithfulness
- You take your own life in a dream: misfortune will weigh heavily on you
- Others do so: other people's failures will affect your interests
How you felt
- A wish for a clean break: the dream often reflects a desire to end a situation, not a life
- Distress: if the dream echoes real thoughts, talking to someone you trust or a professional can genuinely help
Ask yourself
- Which situation do I want to end?
- Whom could I tell how I'm feeling?
