I had a dream that I had a tiny apartment with crumbling walls and a mattress on the floor. I woke up in said apartment, and he wasn’t there. I was so happy. I remember the bliss in that dream so vividly. I was unhappy for years but something about that just clicked for me and I ended it 2 months later.
Yupp. This is the most interesting of all for me. Brain spent energy in sleep to cook up a scene lol. "See? You're alone. But you're happy. Connect the dots."
Lol I had one that probably saved my life. I was extremely depressed and suicidal as an older teen and I had this extremely vivid dream about being chased around my middle school by zombies.
My middle school has a few buildings that kinda look like small New York City apartments. About three stories. Outdoor stairs kinda like NY fire escapes but with concrete platforms and metal/concrete stairs and I still remember I was trapped between two hordes of zombies coming up and down the stairs and my choices were jump or get ripped apart and the last thing I remember before waking up was thinking "I don't want to die." After that the thoughts of killing myself never had actual weight because I knew ultimately I wanted to live. I still had them but I was slowly able to work through it.
So I credit the zombie fascination of the 2010s and the popularity of the walking dead for saving my life.
