Dreaming about suicide

A couple months ago I had a week straight about dreams in which I would kill myself. The dreams were mainly centred around normal life, until I would somehow find a gun or other way of offing myself. Then, I would kill myself, and immediately wake up in sweat. I thought not much of it at the time, just weird dreams. But has recently come back a lot stronger. The dreams aren't depressive in nature. The one I remember most well and wrote down was going on a hike, then randomly finding a 1911 with a single round in the chamber. What should I think of these dreams? Is it just because of stress or something else?

Are you worried about someone killing themselves or know someone who did? If not maybe your brain is trying to escape the dream not wanting to witness something in your subconscious. Oddly i havent had a dream about killing myself even though ive actually been suicidal for a very long time.

Ive gotten dreams like this. in my opinion there's no terrible need to think too hard about it all. don't seem to corelate with much about my emotional state or anything either. Sometimes I get streaks of violent images while awake, too; shooting myself, stabbing knife into my chest, yadda yadda. Against other people too I guess in my case anyway. If I wanted to think of something about it I'd just use it as a reminder that you have agency, can do random & unexpected things. And of course to be thoughtful for some of those things may have regrettable consequences...
