Default Is my dracaena (dracena) a lost cause? =(

Hi all. I've had a dracaena tree in my apartment for a couple years
and it's been very happy. It sits near a big window and a sliding door
and isn't in direct light. I usually water it once a week or so, and
I've had no problems. I went away for a few days this past week and
when I got back, it was totally dried up! The leaves were thinner and
they were all drooping. Now there have been times where I've waited
almost two weeks to water it and this has never happened! The only
thing I added to my bedroom (where the tree is) is a little fan to
circulate the air around the room - and it isn't directly pointing at
the tree. I watered it a lot yesterday and even sprayed the leaves,
but it doesn't seem to be responding all that well. What could have
happened to my tree? Is there anything I can do to revive it? I don't
want to give up quite yet.

Thanks so much for your advice... please help me save my tree!
