How's your level "not deleted" but "gone" at the same time? Please clarify.

Note: It's a long shot, but try closing unity, deleting your "Library" folder then reopen your project.

If Unity crashed, then I'm sorry to say that whatever you had done between the last save and the crash is now gone. Unity does not save anything during a crash (how could it?).

In order to prevent losing a lot of work in the future, remember to press that Save button (or pressing ctrl-s) every once in a while.

I saved it plenty, worked on it for over a month. Then the after that error it's gone as if it was deleted

Because I didn't delete it, I opened up unity after it crashed and the scene is just completely gone, no trace anywhere.

On my machine, when opening Unity project, scene is sometimes not loaded, especially after Unity crash. But it's still in the Assets folder. Take a look there for an asset with your scene name and with Unity icon. In file system, it has .unity extension. I know you wrote you can't find it, but please check again.

Apart from this, to prevent such problems in the future, I strongly suggest using some version control system, e.g. SVN. There are plenty of version control hosting services, some of them free, other paid. If you search a bit, you'll for sure find something that suits your need.
