Is it normal to dream of suicide?

Ok, so, this is a follow-up on my other dreaming of death question. I recently had a dream where i was trying to die. I was jumping in front of cars. But like my other dream, i survived. I can remember the emotions i felt. Anger and a hint of sadness. The anger rose as i kept not dieing. I remember trying to jump in busy traffic. My friends and family looked in horror as i tried to escape them. The weirdest part, was the fact i don't know why i wanted death.
Side note, i reckon dreams symbolize our thoughts. I always believed that. But then this happens, and i have to question myeslf
Edit: i always stayed alive in these dreams. Like, no matter how much i tried, i couldn't die. I hope that's a good thing

    Learn to control your dreams.
    Become aware that its a dream while you are there. ( key point, do not focus, If you see writing of ANY type do not try to read it. )
    Dreaming of death is nothing.
    YOU can control what goes on.
    So do.

    Dreams are often completely random. I once had a dream in which I went into my bathroom and picked up a candle. After I picked it up, its wax started dripping onto my hands and burning them off until my arms were literally just bones. I could actually feel pain during that dream. If anyone can find meaning in that dream, you might be able to convince me that dreams always have meaning.

    We've all had this one. At least I did, especially as a kid. But I never interpreted it as me wanting to die. Actually, I never interpreted my dreams as anything. They're just stupid dreams you wake up from and then move on with your life. Your subconscious rambling while drunk.

    Maybe you're dreaming of suicide, because there's something in waking life that you're desperate to escape?

    This could mean multiple things. It could be an actual dream or a vision of how you die. If you start to feel like offing yourself start, speaking to a therapist, your friends or who ever you’re close and comfortable with.
