1) Hamlet considers the reasons which may lead people to take their own lives. He thinks of the punishments and insults which good, quiet people take from those who are unworthy.
2) In particular, he refers to political oppression, social discrimination, unreturned love, the delays of justice, insolence and ingratitude.
3) As in sleep, there is the possibility of dreaming, and Hamlet wonders if there will be dreams after death. It is for this reason that human beings are so reluctant to take their own lives and would rather tolerate earthly sorrows and troubles.

I left out a few more sentences. I really hope you can check them,too.
