When I was about 18 years old (27 years ago) I was very upset before going to sleep about a breakup with a boyfriend. Before I went to sleep I said to myself ``I wish I were dead!''. I dreamed that God came to me in voice only saying ``You want to be dead, I'll take you!''. I'm assuming that it was God, Jesus, or some other divine person as it was a deep male voice. At that moment I was floating in the ceiling of the corner of my bedroom looking down at me in the bed and watching God slowly take my body up ghostlike from the bed. I started crying from up in the ceiling and begged him not to take me. With no answer, He slowly put my body back into the body on the bed. I woke up crying but realizing how foolish I was to wish to be dead in the first place. I have never had a dream like this since or before and it really changed my life! Anytime I get really down and even begin to wish I was dead, I stop mid sentence and say ``No, I love life more than anything and I'm so thankful! that I am alive! It has changed my whole outlook on life. It was such a moving experience that I believe it was really Him in my dream trying to guide me in the right direction.
