This is a dream I had last night. I’m outside my house and I know that there is a CO2 leak inside. I run inside and find my dad limp in his chair at the kitchen table. I drag him outside through the garage and go back in to rouse my mother and little brother. They are both conscious although my mother needs to lean on me a little as we go outside. I drag my father down to the end of the driveway and begin CPR. At first I was hesitant to blow into his mouth, the whole lips touching your fathers lips in what could seem like a intimate kiss is what got me. However, I quickly overcame that and was soon pressing on his chest and blowing like there was no tomorrow. My mother and brother saw that it was pointless and tried to pull me off, but I pushed them away. I just kept pounding and blowing away. Then I woke up.
For once I know where this dream came from. Yesterday I had seen something in the paper about a dog rescuing its owners when there was a CO2 leak in the house. The whole dad dead thing probably came from the fact that my dog and goldfish died recently and there are other pets who are old and starting to wind down. It also means that my dad is dead (not in the dream but in real life). Someone cut him off while he was riding his motorcycle and he couldn’t stop in time, to put it simply. Hmmm, maybe someday I’ll post more about that and him. So, going back to the dream, it may be suggesting that it is better that I wasn’t at the scene of my dad’s accident because I would flip completely out.
