"A recent study found that frequent nightmares could predict symptoms of suicide in patients seeking emergency psychiatric evaluation. The findings were presented at SLEEP, 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
Sleep disorders such as nightmares are quite common in people who have depression, which is one of the leading risk factors for suicide. And, previous studies have also found an association between nightmares and suicide.
"Sleep disturbances, especially nightmares, appear to be an acute warning sign and risk factor for suicide," says Rebecca Bernert, principal investigator and doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Florida State University. "Given that poor sleep is amenable to treatment, and less stigmatized than depression and suicide, our findings could impact standardized suicide risk assessment and prevention efforts.""

I've never been depressed from a nightmare and I do remember most of them. However, in recent months, I don't remember my dreams, period. It's as though if I close my eyes and then wake up and that nothing happened in between.
Right now I'm depressed for near the same reasons. The thoughts to silence, to end it all came up again, but sense I don't have the guts to do it to myself, I get to live. Although, when I was very tearful, there was a point I started to suffocate from fluids building in the throat, but I spit that out after I was able to start breathing again.
Feeling a lot better now once again. I'm sure I'll get depressed though down the lines again, when something else comes up that makes me feel I'm worthless..
