Anyone have bad dreams about their fish and tanks?

I've also had dreams of flying fish. Often they are about plecos that get out of the tank(they are ok though).
I can't seem to recall any 'bad' dreams of fish/tanks

I once had a dream where my three different tanks (at the time, FW SW and goldfish) had all had a bunch of fish added, but the fish were in the wrong tanks- goldfish in SW, SW in FW, etc. I spent awhile capturing everything and just putting all the new fish in cups of the right water. That was kind of weird.
Also had a dream where I somehow had two cleaner shrimp, they bred like rabbits, and then they all mutated into flying cleaner shrimp and just flew around swarming people and cleaning them. Spent some time chasing cleaner shrimp with butterfly nets.
Also, I once got up in the middle of the night, half-asleep, because there was a weird noise- and I stepped in a puddle. The tank causing the puddle was 6 feet away. Something went very wrong with the HOB filter on my 65g, and it kept pumping while pouring water out the back, so I ended up with about 7 gallons of water all over our 100+ year old wood floors. Also under my bed, under the stand, under another stand, and all over the place. I was half-asleep the entire time and kept thinking "I'm probably dreaming, but I should keep cleaning this up anyway."
Turns out I wasn't dreaming. Yaaay.

Just added an AC 110 to my 55 gallon today.... hour later I take a nap and of course I had a dream it burst open and flooded the upstairs.
This morning my wife called me our house is out of electricity. She called the electrical company and was told that there was no regional outage, just our house. They came and checked it out, and determined that it was likely from underground cable. They sent in a team to dig a trench two house from us to replace a corroded cable and restore the electricity.
What a nightmare if it were to happen last week when I was away for vacation. Since it was not a regional outage, no one would have informed the electrical company and all my fish would be dead..

Never dreamt about fish and tanks, but lost a lot of sleep with buyer's remorse after my GF threw me out of the bedroom after spending more money on this hobby. Yes it can be a nightmare sometimes. Oh women, sometimes ...... they are no fun !!!
Well sometimes dreams have alternate meanings so when you have weird dreams and you decide what weird or odd is to you try to remember all the details when you wake up and look them up it may relate to something in your life without you even noticing.
