Do you believe in signs from the universe that it’s time?

[Shay]

Today a healing prism broke, falling off the window where it's been since April. Then someone I had been thinking about connecting to who has a dad in the mafia connected with me today after I haven't seen her in 10 years. Too coincidental for me especially bc I've been practicing knots all morning. Maybe the time is coming ..

 

[Ben]

I'd like to believe the universe just shuts the fuck up if it doesn't got anything nice to show ya lol

Could just be your brain playing seven degrees of separation and tying links that may not of been there in a different mindset.

Fuck the universe

I don´t know if there are signs, but if you do it by hanging your time is over for sure

Not necessarily. So many have failed attempting partial

 

[Hanger]

Partial is true, but with full suspensions it´s safer

 

[Shay]

I

Partial is true, but with full suspensions it´s safer

I don't have it in me to do full. I've read it's so painful

I don't believe in signs or anything metaphysical.

Maybe I'm just looking for signs

I always set limits to how sick I would allow myself to get before I would take my own life. Unfortunately I have reached that point. My ocd is driving me insane

If you look for them you will definitely find them. but it's just your mind noticing things in a specific way where you wouldn't have without looking. Manifestation, spirituality, etc etc. They can be nice and comforting, but they're not real, they're in our minds.

I am a spiritual person not religious but spiritual. I also got a text from someone I haven't heard from in 8 months saying she had a dream about me and another text from someone I haven't heard from in 2 years saying it's been so long how are you

 

[Deleted member 847]

I don't believe in this stuff anymore, but deep down I do hope we live in a spiritual reality where everything has a meaning and everything is going to be ok for us.

In my mind, if I had a good reason to be spiritual then I'd also have a good reason to be religious and well.. I just don't.

there is nothing nothing cares

 

[Smilla]

I'm not a spiritual person but i have vivid dreams about my death which is definitely my subconscious telling me it's time to go.

The more shit gets worse the more I'm like it's almost time.

There's a term for the phenomenon - apophenia. More specifically, the pattern recognition behavior exhibited here is called pareidolia.

I went through a period of believing in signs from the universe. It ended up being symptomatic of a full-blown psychosis. Dreams are just dreams, circumstances are happenstance.

Dreams can and do have personal meaning, however—we do have areas of our brain (ie our subconscious) that are accessed during sleep. But as far as the dreams coming from an external source outside of our brains I would say absolutely not.

For instance since I decided to CTB— in my dreams now I am often on a bus, catching a bus, or driving one. This is my subconscious telling me that I truly wish to die, which is a "sign", not from the universe, but from me.

I have had some pretty literal nightmares in the past... I know this will sound made up as fuck but one that I remember... getting eaten alive by a strange large dog, getting.. neck snapped, waking up again in an alternate dream universe but it was the same room, my mum was there being eaten too.

other one basically culminated in all my friends from college gathering around and hurting me in some way or another all while throwing verbal abuse, and it ended up with two needles being poked into me and snapped off... there were so many details but of course it was a dream so a lot of the details are nonsense but they're obvious to me. like a school morphing into a doctors surgery and the just desks everywhere and I was up against a pillar or wall as everybody came at me

I promise I'm not making this up and I remember them so well years later just because they were so interesting to me, other than the adrenaline rush immediately after it happened I wasn't really afraid of my dreams.

Edit: More recently I've had about one dream about dying, like you. but I don't tend to remember my dreams and if I sleep through the day I sometimes dream but they're so wacky I forget them straight away.

Yeah, I have some of those dreams at times, where the world turns on you like a scene from Inception. A couple days ago, I remember dreaming that all my friends (all 4 that I've had through my life) showed up in my room, found me logged onto this site, took away my knife and the t-shirt I'm using to try out partial suspension (obviously they already knew which one it was) then wrapping me up in tissue paper to 'become better'. Then I remember being moved into the next room, which had become something like Room 101, where they put an IV into me to supply glucose and then kept trying to get me to be happy. I can't remember half the shit they did, but some of it involved being stung by bees, making me say that I loved life and hitting me with a steel ruler when I didn't sound authentic, and having an asthma attack forced onto me. The second one was where I remember slowly passing out, and then suddenly waking up.

I wouldn't say that the universe is telling me to die, but there have been some strange roadblocks along the way that kept me from being able to obtain a gun, jump off a bridge, or hang myself. However, my attempts at securing my method now have never been thwarted. They are strange coincidences but they all led to a peaceful method.

Oooof shit that sounds terrifying! You reminded me of one recently, it wasn't a big dream, just that I saw in my mother's diary some notes about this website lol, think because I was planning to check her calendar for the exact date of her holiday..

 

[Rebirth]

It honestly feels like that if there is a higher power, they're trying to make me suffer as much as possible. Not to say I'm only a victim, because I've made some choices that I regret so much and are totally unlike me, but cost me a huge amount of happiness. However, that being said, the level of pain I've had to endure not of my own doing is so ridiculous that it feels like it can't be a coincidence.

Even though I'm an atheist I really, really get this feeling.

Yeah, the bees were scary. The worst part was that I woke up with a bee in front of my face.

The only god I believe in is RNGesus, and he is the source of all evil, from every random accident breaking my electronics (and furthering my crippled mental state) to Stone Edge missing exactly when you need it to land.

 

[MissLisa]

Yes I do, I often see signs around about what I have to do, things happen and I know it's a sign, it helps me know that it's right.

Exactly. It's like it's way too ironic and cruel to just be random. Something has to be toying with us. Even if not then that just means the universe/nature does not care about suffering so everything really just comes down to luck. You either get lucky and have a ok to great life or you have a bad to horrible life. It's so horrifying to think about.

Are recurring dreams and nightmares signs?
