    I lost a friend to suicide 5 months ago and he was in trouble with drugs before he died. I keep having dreams that I am him running from people who are chasing him and going through feelings of fear and anxiety in the dream.

    Is this his way of contacting me

    I don't think anyone can tell you that for sure. More likely it is your own memories and saddness of loosing a friend that is playing on your mind.

    Five months is not a very long time ago, and what we try not to think about during the day often has a way of getting into our dreams.

    Goodshape has a clear point.

    I believe it may just be your subconscious mind trying to make sense of something so awful. Trying to help you make peace with your loss. I am sure that in your waking hours you wonder if you couldn't have done something - some twist of fate to turn the tables. And your subconscious is probably trying to figure that angle as well as the real angle of how things went, to ease your pain.

    Sorry for your loss BTW. That is never easy.
    A friend of mine recently witnessed another friend die in a stupid Auto repair accident. (Car shifted into gear while fixing it and crushed the repairman.) My friend has had many a nasty dream since then himself.

    I hope you find the peace you seek!

    Hugs to you,

    Read someplace that dreams can sometimes assist us in coping with difficult situations in our lives. Then again, they can also be a source of trouble, too, like night terrors. This suggests to me that dreaming is complex phenomena.
