Do u dream EMT??

[AVPU]

The past few nights I've been having dreams of EMS. Nothing specific that I can recall, but I'd wake up with thoughts of BVMs, non rebreathers, stokes baskets, nitro, glucose, angina, and everything else dancing in my head. This happen to anyone else, esp. those that have been in the field a long time?

Maybe I'm more ready to take my test than I think.....

Nope as soon as I leave the job I forget the job.

Worst post by you ever!

This guy is a student, and if he's thinking of this stuff in his sleep, it means he is really paying attention and processing everything and LEARNING! I was expecting you to go omg! ^_^

I once had a dream that I was back doing a ride-along for my class (this was months after my class ended). I woke up to my alarm clock (a beeping sound) and thought it was the tones sounding. Rather than turning it off, I lay there for a few minutes waiting for dispatch information before realizing it was all a dream.

This was an isolated incident though. Haven't dreamed about EMS since or after.

If you wake up with morning wood after the dreams seek medical attention immediately. Trust me..... I am a Paramedic!

A couple nights after my first code, I dreamed that we ran it again and saved the guy that time around, even though we didn't do anything different. I think it was my brain's way of reassuring me that I'd done everything I could.

Nothing other than that, at least that I can remember. I totally turn off my EMT brain as soon as I get off.

Nope, I am usually thinking about girls. Schulz, if I seek medical attention by going to a really good looking RN, I think she will make the problem worse!

Amen.

I wake up... and occasionally worry that I slept though a call.

I don't think I dream about EMS - I don't usually remember my dreams, so IDK.

I sleep best while on call... but live in fear of my pager. When I get paged, it takes me a few moments to get out of my dream (non-EMS), and figure out I need to answer my pager.
With all of that said, I dont think I can say I've ever dreamed about EMS.

I definitely do dream EMS. More so when I was in school, but I still do from time to time.

It's always kind of weird though.

I had a dream a few months ago that I was suctioning a raccoon.

I have no idea what that means.

You were predicting the future that you would go to a call for domestic violence, the patient that got beaten had raccoon eyes (black eyes), and was beating so badly that you had to suction him/her? That's my best guess/interpretation of your dream.

Wow, never thought of that! When that happens I'll let you know.
