Rescuing someone

Rescuing someone from danger can evoke a powerful feeling of heroism and accomplishment. In a dream, it suggests that you have goals in your waking life related to helping others and making a positive impact. It encourages you to continue overcoming obstacles in your life and helping those in need, whether it's through saving someone in a dangerous situation or simply being there for someone you love.

Performing CPR on a person

I dreamt of having to perform CPR on a person. I don't remember if I did it successfully. Thank you :)

Dreaming about trying to save someone's life through physical means, in this case, CPR is indicative of going through a tragic event or a series of trials. While this sounds bad in theory, the result of your journey is likely to help you grow more as a person and learn things about yourself you did not realize before. This could lead to the inner balance and peace you have been searching for for some time now.

Being under water after rescue by a ship

I was with an unknown person at a dock where an aircraft carrier was stationed. I was asked to jump aboard. My company did so, but I was a bit late. As the ship suddenly pulled away, I jumped but fell in the water. The ship circled back and recovered me. However, I was mounted somewhere under the ship facing forward, not on the ship, as I would expect. Me and the unidentified person were also able to breathe underwater as if there was some sort of bubble protecting us and giving us oxygen.

Seeing an aircraft carrier in front of you is a sign of happiness and success. It is especially auspicious considering your missing the ship and falling into the water. Water surrounding you in a dream is often associated with opportunity. Together, these symbols signify that something that is making you happy now could lead to even greater things in the future, if pursued. Being able to breathe underwater may be the manifestation of some existing fears, suggesting that this could be an art or hobby which you do not think could be a viable path for you. The air that surrounds and protects you, however, serves as a reminder that anything is possible with creativity and a bit of elbow grease.

Rescuing a friend

I rescued a friend shouting for help from an empty room.

Rescuing a friend who is crying out for help signifies your desire to be needed. You find satisfaction and fulfillment from helping others. Unfortunately, you may not have a lot of close friends at the moment. Perhaps you are living alone or based somewhere far from your loved ones. In fact, the empty room in this dream represents a sense of isolation. The friend could symbolize your own loneliness and you want to find meaningful connections at this stage in your life.

Taking care of rescue animals

A lot of mice in my childhood home that someone brought and put in a cage. Then a lot of cats in another cage, then a dog sleeping in his corner. We had them as rescued animals. In the dream, not in real life. I was putting little cats out of the cage and then back and they obeyed and went inside. One cat wanted to hug me and was speaking. She was cute. Could mean my daughter, it was similar energy. At one point few cats and mice went loose and created pee puddles, and the dog got sick, had diarrhea.

Your childhood home represents something being comfortable in wake life, giving you inner peace and tranquility. The caged mice represent being too distracted to get the important things done, while the caged cats are the metaphorical equivalent of keeping your eyes on the prize. Keeping yourself in balance would be a difficult endeavor, however, as you may have a tendency toward distraction or taking on too many things at once. This could have negative effects on your health, as the pee puddles predict becoming ill or exhausted, and the dog poop points towards having to pay money to compensate for this situation.

Rescuing an old person after they fall

Rescuing an elderly woman from a hole in the floor.

Dreams of helping an elderly person who has fallen can be symbolic of your own concerns or fears related to aging, mortality, or the passage of time. This dream may reflect a sense of vulnerability or a contemplation of the aging process, mortality, and the inevitable transitions in life. It encourages you to come to terms with these concerns and embrace the present moment while planning for the future to make the most of your life journey.
