Bass or music related nightmares?

Has anyone ever had nightmares of their gear getting destroyed or anything like it?

2 days ago I had a dream that I turned on my Mesa/Boogie Bass 400+ and I saw a tube heat up and catch on fire. The suddenly my whole amp was on fire!! I woke up in a cold sweat.

So anyone have any stories to share?
 
Of course. In my recurring dream a band I am in is setting up for a gig, and my rig is malfunctioning. No matter what I do, I can't get a sound out of it; the band starts without me and until I wake up I am struggling to no avail to get it working.

I have this dream just about as often as the one where I am walking into a final exam in a class I have never attended and the one where I suddenly find myself walking around the halls at work in my underwear.
 
I scratched my new bass only 3 days after bringing it home, so I had nightmares where it was almost torn to pieces because I was really scared of scratching it again and my mind kept that fear even during my sleep!!!
