Father on a window ledge

I dreamt that my father was walking back and forth on a small ledge outside my two windows at night. I knew that he had come to visit me and had climbed up the outside of the building, now we talked through the windows about things i cannot remember. I wanted him to come in, upon opening the window he leapt backwards, flat like a board. It was a troubling sight to see him fall backwards into the darkness and disappear. I thought that he was just joking, and that he probably had a parachute, or something on him that would let him land safely, soon he would climb back up. What he had with him was napalm though, and when he landed in it he received third degree burns all over his body, I learned as much from a newspaper.
