Hi tara,

It's hard to determine another person's dreams, especially when it is so short and sweet. Does your girlfriend know why she decided to put a gun to her head and shoot herself in her dream?

Unfortunately, with such little information it is difficult to determine it's meaning... the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is perhaps there is something going on in her life where she would like to just throw in the towel and call it a loss. Meaning she wants to give up on something because she doesn't feel it's worth the aggravation. As a generality, I think anyone relates to wanting to put a gun their own head and pulling the trigger as if 'I'm done, stick a fork in me.' But the interpretation is a guess at best.

If your friend can provide you with anymore information, let me know. I hope this was helpful.

Although like Angelique I am extremely hesitant in offering you a third party dream interpretation (especially if your friend is unusually depressed or suicidal at the time of her dream), I sincerely hope that the following response to a similar question might be of some use and comfort to your friend as well.

Above all, it is very important to assure your friend that it is very unlikely that this is in any way a premonition of her future, or that things are about to become so bad that she might consider acting out her dream in her waking life.

See Dr. Katia Romanoff's response to "Getting shot"

Your friend is I feel very fortunate to have a kind friend of her own such as yourself, who obviously cares so much for her welfare,

Unfortunately I do not feel that this provides us with any further clues, other than the ones I have already mentioned. The dreaming mind tends to rationalise or fill in the gaps in the dream's plot, in order to make it more believable or at least more acceptable. The extra information that your friend shot herself in the head because someone she loved died is only I believe an extra prop which is being used by your friend's inner dream director for the purposes of poetic or dramatic licence.

It only tends to distract your friend from the real reason for her having this dream in the first place, and does not I fear add anything useful, unless of course at a later date your friend suddenly realises that this dream was the result of a repressed memory of someone who was dear to her in her past and who DID take (or attempt to take) their own life in this manner. It has been known for such painful memories to be suppressed for years before re-surfacing once again, posing as an event which has only happened fairly recently. Also remember that this unknown person could be either a symbol of anyone (male or female) that your friend knows now or from the distant past, or the whole thing could have been drawn from the media or something she read. It consequently may have nothing at all to do with a friend of her's committing suicide.

It might potentially be only a form of dream shorthand for something else presently going on in your friend's waking life, or perhaps a deep truth about herself that she now needs to more fully come to terms with so that she can once more make positive progress. Perhaps you can now see why dream interpretation (especially third party dream interpretation as in this case) is to a large extent an inexact art. There are therefore no right or wrong interpretations, but we do our level best to offer as many options to the dreamer, from which they can hopefully choose those suggestions which are most relevant and helpful to them. Even what may sound to be the most convincing interpretation of someone else's dream may be proven to be of little benefit to the dreamer in the end, no matter how much effort went into creating it?

I would definitely not ignore what your friend has told you as being the apparent reason for the person shooting herself in the head (a method which is generally only used by men to take their own life), but on the other hand I also would not jump to any premature conclusions that this was indeed the reason. What else of any significance is happening in your friend's life at the moment, that could possibly give rise to her dream/nightmare? Is she feeling unusually down, but cannot seem to understand why this should be so when everything else in her life appears to be going well? Unexplained depression and free floating anxiety (that horrible feeling that something is about to go terribly wrong, although you have no idea what or why) are both in epidemic proportions these days within the general population.

Kindest regards to you both,
