Over the past couple of months I've been very depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts, but not to the point of acting on them. About a week ago I had a strange dream that sort of scared me and also changed my mood for the better. In my dream, I was an outsider observing a scene in my life, almost like a movie scene. Someone I really care about was looking for me, but couldn't find me. Everything that was mine or that I had touched was marked with a red X, which I could not see, but the person that was looking for me could see. I was also surrounded in flames that I could not see, but others could see and in my dream I saw myself die, but not by being burned. I could see myself drowning and suddenly I could feel myself drowning (I have a strong fear of drowning in real life). Rather than waking up depressed, I woke up relieved. I had this dream about a week ago and although I've still been depressed, my suicidal thoughts have subsided. I'm not exactly sure what the message of the dream was, but I think it told me that I need to keep moving on. Anyone have any dreams that have changed your perception on life?
