Yes. I had a dream that I was kicked out of the house and the new owners tore down my tank.

I typically only have anxiety dreams, so absolutely.
Front panes visibly bowing out (like a bowfront) and can see the mysteriously-held water through the gaps but I can't find any buckets, drums, towels or move etc.
Display draining of water but it's not a leak, the sump isn't overflowing - it's just disappearing. The mixing station tap wont budge!
Return pump fails and I can't find the redundant unit, keep trying to fill buckets from the sump to drop in the display but the bucket becomes immovable.
Discovering the display has nothing in it and is completely empty.
Something is electrocuting everything in the tank but when try to unplug everything from the wall my hand just locks on lie a vice and can't unplug.

Sleeping sure can be stressful sometimes lol.:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

I'm new to the hobby and had 2 nightmares. 1st one was my exquisite firefish goby and baby snowflake eel jumped the tank and became fish jerky (this was when I had saran wrap as my lid last week, I built a custom one now that fits like a glove)

2nd one was my tiger pistol shrimp shot my baby snowflake eel dead. L0L!

Sometimes nightmares have a clear way of telling you the problems you really do need to solve. The lid was dangerous to their lives and It's very possible the eel collides with the tiger as well. (Though more likely the eel would end up eating the tiger once she's big enough ;) )

I don't usually stress like this over my projects but I fall asleep watching my aquarium so I'm sure that plays a part. Also I do hate when my animals die.

When you put lots of money and time into something, it can be scary to think of something happening to it! There is no denying that a common reef-keeping stressor is worrying about your tank's health unraveling. But sometimes, the worry goes a little too far...My most recent tank nightmare was LAST NIGHT! I was able to breathe a sigh of relief when I woke up and found my fish were, in fact, not all dead.
