May be important: Your dreams areb likely to your brain trying to understand something while you sleep. A dream about suicide could also represent ending something important in your life. The key is whether you are having difficulties during your waking hours. Are you sad, anxious, distracted, irritable, hyper, or uncomfortable with things in your life? If so, you may want to see a therapist to talk about it.

To sleep, perhaps to: There is no consensus on the meaning of dreams. Some believe the content is the subconscious speaking to us in symbology, others that dreams represent the mind processing the experiences of the day. Dreams of suicide without a waking desire to take one's life is not be a risk factor for suicide. If the dream recurs & causes you significant distress, it is worth addressing with a psychotherapist.

Could be serious: This could be serious, i would want to know more from this individual, could this type of dream be a reaction to a drug? This individual could very likely benefit from therapy.
