Suicide in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

In dream tradition this image is read symbolically, as a strong wish for one part of life to end or change, or as deep exhaustion asking for rest. Dreaming about someone else in this way is often read as fear of losing them, or worry about how they are coping. The dream is not a forecast, and it says nothing about what anyone must do. It can help to notice what part of your life feels most unbearable or most in need of change. If such thoughts are present when you are awake, please talk to someone you trust or call a local helpline.
