Scary dream about invert pests

Miami Reef · May 21, 2023

I had a dream last night where I needed to remove a lot of rocks from my tank.

Once the dark rocks were in piles on the wet, slippery floor, I tentatively tried to lift one piece, and a swarm of black, snapping, buzzing, large inverts started pouring out by the hundreds. They looked like Venus fly traps combined with scorpions.

They quickly scurried toward another pile of rocks, and I was so afraid to move any of the rocks off my marble floors because I thought they would try to snap my fingers off.

It was a pretty frightening dream. Do you ever get weird dreams about your reef tank?

I have a reoccurring dream about collecting reef fish in a woodland stream - emperor angels, etc. with a hand net in a foot of water. I have no idea what that means

You think thats bad I once had a nightmare I used the toothbrush I use to clean my skimmer on my teeth.

Also way to casually mention your marble floors

In a dream I have had many times
I had a monster reef I had to dive in to clean .
I wake up as I’m being attacked by a pair of clownfish .

I think it might stem from the little buggers being clownfish when my hands are in my tank
