It depends on how you define normal I guess. For those of us with depression it is very normal. If I am not in a deep depression I don't have them. I do remember when I was not at all in a depression thinking....what if I just drove my car off the side of the road or into incoming traffic. Just a passing thought. Maybe that is what happens to normal people once in a great while.

As bronzeowl said it depends how frequent they are, what other symptoms you are having, and so on. Definitely a major symptom of depression.
