whoever,

I've heard that old wives tale as well. When my husband was 17 he dreamed that he was a soldier in Vietnam and was killed. He hasn't remembered a dream since.

I'm confused though, why would you think that dream is suicidal? You had no control over the random acts of violence of others.

Are you by chance in withdrawal from Effexor? They did not wean me off of it and I had the most horrible dreams. Violent dreams. I was doing awful things to my kids for example. I dreamed that I threw my one of my twins off of a second story in a construction site as a toddler. When I woke up it took me a while to realize that the boy is now 14 and 6 feet tall, not a two years old so it couldn't have happened.
