Anyone have bad dreams about their fish and tanks?

the flying fish dream you guy have is super weird.
serious question. obviously you enjoy your tanks or you wouldn't be in the hobby but does it stress you out a lot? like do you get really upset when you lose a fish or are constantly worried about them?
 
I don't feel like the hobby stresses me out a lot. I think it's just because I always feed my fish right before I go to bed, so it's the last thing I think about before I go to bed. Sometimes, the dreams are cool because I get to have more tanks and more fish than I get to have in real life, but sometimes daily stresses leech over into the dreams I guess.
 
Oh I've had plenty of dreams. The VA doesn't know whether to blame my PTSD on combat or the many mishaps I've had with my tanks! The worst ever was about 10 years ago when I was refilling a 300 gallon in my fish room which was luckily in the basement of my old house. I went upstairs for something and got side tracked and completely forgot I was refilling the tank. Over an hour went by and by my guess there was around 100 gallons all over the basement.

Last night I pretty much didn't sleep at all and actually slept on the couch in the living room so I could be closer to my 125 I did a complete reseal and corner seam repair to and am currently leak testing. See thread in DYI forum. FML....
 
I also keep snakes. I have dreams that for some reason I put all my snakes in 1 tank and forget about them, then they start to bite and attack each other. Sucks.
