Dear Ralph & Juditha, I am so moved by your posts & wish I could help in some way, if it's not too presumptious of me. Juditha, I have also dreamed I was dying - in one dream I lay on the bathroom floor, losing strength & consciousness; I told my small daughter not to be afraid, as it was the same as if a little bird was dying.
The dream made me aware that I was not fully interacting in my current life; that I had a responsibility to "take this incarnation seriously". Perhaps that also applies to you? I find that once one reaches a certain point on one's path, the world has very little appeal any more. One sees through the glamour & facade of life - all the pointless ambitions; the striving & growing up; being an adolescent with all one's vain hopes for a life that finally ends in suburbia; the mindless urge to procreate & fulfill the biological imperative. . . . all so that we can produce offspring who we mould into social beings with the same silly hopes & fears that we had, only to grow old & wither as we do ourselves. It's the circle, or wheel of becoming, & we need to let go of it.
But not by opting out, or shooting or drowning or gassing ourselves or cutting our veins. We have to EARN our "death". If someone were to attack you, try to stab you or kill you in some violent way, Ralph, I am certain your body would automatically leap to its own defence, even if you consciously wished to slough it off. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita, we are forced to act by material nature.
I sympathise so very much with you, though, as I have been there myself. I can only recommend letting go. . . .only material things that can be taken away from you. Looking at the stars at night is a great way of putting things into perspective, I find.
I don't know you or about your life, but someone I loved for many years (but had kept away from, for fear of distrupting his life) took his own life by gassing himself - his third attempt, after failing at cutting the wrists. He felt he had nothing to live for after having a stroke & being unable to perform - he was a classical musician. I met him in the astral, & all the darkness, depression & pain was still with him - he had not left it behind. His words, "I keep slipping away into the darkness" will always be with me.
So please do not take your own life, no matter how hard the circumstances. According to my understanding, the only exception is in the case of severe terminal illness, when death should be consciously chosen & entered into awake. But if there is even one thing that one can still do to help some other being, even if it is just feeding a wild bird, there is still something left to be done here in 3-D.
Peace & wholeness to you, & may no blood be spilled.
