I dreamt of being in my mum's house, and she had a problem with her boiler. There was a metal grill under the boiler which had a plastic cover on it, and she'd taken the cover off because it was making a funny 'melted plastic' smell.
I was upstairs and it was getting really hot, so I came down to ask her why the heating was on so high and she told me the boiler was playing up. I looked at the bottom of the boiler and the metal grill was so hot it was glowing and the metal was starting to melt.
I asked why she took the plastic cover off and she said it smelt bad so she was throwing it away. I asked why she didn't turn the boiler off as it was clearly overheating. She said that the plastic cover was a pain and she "couldn't be doing with it", and I told her if she paid attention to the fact that it was melting and turned off the boiler, it could have prevented her house catching fire and saved her life!
She seemed cross with me!
