I had a dream one of my best friends killed himself outside my house, hung himself from a cord that's directly outside my window, I don't know if I should confront him about it, or just forget about it. He doesn't seem like the type to be depressed he has a picture of him on facebook riding a jetski, but he's also one of thos people no one really knows whats going on inside his head. It just felt so real, I felt the tears on my face, in the dream.
I can imagine why that made you feel so sad I too have had dreams of friends killing themselves and its really scary. I'm not sure whether confronting him would be a good idea, maybe mentioning he was in your dream, just to kind of get it out of your system.
I usually interpret death to the meaning of change (like in tarot cards), and speaking of those the "Hanged Man" card can represent taking chances and trusting your instincts. What kind of cord was it? A phone cord of some kind could represent communication. This was just a few random associations, but can you remember more details?
Hmmm, dreams aren't usually direct and literal.. If you're worried about it, maybe you should mention it to him and tell him it frightened you and see what he says about it...Maybe ask him if something is bothering him. As someone who was once suicidal, I can tell you, it's nice to have someone there for you and someone to talk to. See if it seems like he's hiding something because he might deny it if he really is suicidal. Just try to be a good friend. I found this on a dream interpretation website. It says suicide in dreams can mean the person is 'giving up' on a relationship or project. So I'd say his is what applies to your dream or something along those lines. Hopefully he's not actually suicidal. SUICIDE : If you have a dream about committing suicide then it is obviously very disturbing. Yet its meanings may not be so bad. Dreams tap into situations where we feel similar emotions. Several suicide dreams in our study took place when the dreamer had been thinking about 'giving up' on some relationship or project. Thats identical to the feelings of someone who is suicidal - you just want to give up. Its the same feeling but just much more extreme in the case of a depressed and suicidal person. But that is how dreams work. The mind obviously used the suicide to show the strength of feeling as the dreamer was completely dejected with a project and simply had to give up. Suicide may link to mental illness but you need not fear such dreams. They merely reveal emotions that you are obviously aware of. They may show that you feel a total lack of purpose. You may feel very unhappy and even very depressed. One dreamer who had a suicide dream had been feeling suicidal. But anyone that desperate will obviously be already aware of their unhappiness. The dream will not shock them. Its probably not a premonition of what is to come. Dreams will often reflect the choices available to us - and if you are that desperate then your mind may toy with the idea of suicide. One dream in our study occurred the day after the dreamer had been very reckless and acted in a way which was sure to end up in total failure. In real life if someone acts very recklessly then we say that their actions were suicidal. "
