I normally dream about something that has happened. Like If I responded to a really bad call (getting my EMT so I have been riding alot) ill sometimes dream about it. For instance, last week we responded to a medical aid that turned out code blue. First thing that went wrong IMO (in all reality there wasn't much we could do, i was just blaming myself for a little while) was I gave the wrong directions. The street that we turned on went for several miles to the left and for about 300 yards on the right (we were at a 4 way intersection) before it T'd off again. The house number was 308, so I assumed it would be off the the left. Another reason is because I thought that the condo complex was really an apartment complex. So when the call came in with no apartment number we figured that it was off to the left. That was wrong. This mistake cost about 45seconds of time. Time that could have been used to save that patient. So we get there and find out its code blue. I immediatly start CPR while the medic gets out the paddles and starts to analyze the rythem. He shocks... no response. I resume CPR for 4 cycles. He goes through the shocking procedure again while the EMT gets the information from his histerical wife. She tells us he was down for 20min before we got there. By that time I finished the 3rd cycle of CPR but was told to terminate.

I wrongfully assumed that I had caused his death. It really wasnt my fault, nor the medics, nor anyones. For about a week I kept dreaming about that. I would dream that he wasn't really code blue but rather asleep and He would wake up AFTER I broke his chest. Or that he came back to life but I never stopped CPR. Or that the medic wasnt there and I was trying to shock him myself. Just a bunch of stuff.

That happens to me all the time. I dream about stuff that happens.
