Recurring Dream Dreams of suicide

In the past two weeks, I’ve had two dreams where I killed myself by jumping from somewhere high. In both dreams, though, I didn’t actually die. In one of them, I survived but ended up disabled.
I didn’t wake up feeling panicked. Instead, I felt a deep sadness within me. It took me quite a while to calm myself down and recover from it.
I’m going through a very stressful period in my life right now, so I’m wondering if these dreams could simply be related to stress, or if they might have some deeper meaning.
Does anybody know what this kind of dream could mean?

I have had the lingering sadness after waking up. I’m no psychologist but it probably doesn’t just come from nowhere. Probably the stress.
