Yes, it does :D

I remember my first dream about puffers.... it was sad. My sweet little Pistachio jumped out of the tank. I scooped him up as quick as I could and put him back in, but it was too late :( Then as soon as he died, a rocketship encapsulated him and on it was a label that said "this capsule is activated when a fish dies to protect your water quality"

Yeah...............

These are all sad dreams. The rocketship thing was funny though.

I always dream that as an adult I somehow end up back at the house I grew up in as a kid, and down in the basement are all these tanks and tubs full of fish that I'd just forgotten about and left behind. Even the laundry tubs had fish in them. Somehow they'd survived all these years with no food, etc...

Okay, the rocketship one just cracks me up. What the heck did you eat before bed??

LOL I like all the dreams here!

OK, I think I'm addicted too then, because I've been having this recurring dream! In it, Sushi laid many bright orange eggs in her tank. They kind of look like salmon eggs.....rolling around happily on the white sand substrate. I've been convinced that Sushi is a girl since then! And I used to refer to her as "him" all the time.

Wow. That rocket ship dream is...

Amazing.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

A long time ago I had a dream that my two dwarf puffers at the time died. In my dream we had a small fire, and that the fire happened right after a w/c where we added the wrong ph stuff causing the fish to die. Then I was at the store getting new puffers and took them home in a porcupine puffer shaped bag. A few months alter the first half actually happened (the part before the pet store and the porcupine puffer bags)

My wife had a dream about a small porcupine puffer the other day. Now, she is adamant about getting one. I just set up the new tank yesterday...now we just have to wait until a porc arrives. It's on order at the LFS right now, but may take a while.
