Default What's your worst builder's nightmare?

I mean actual nightmare, bad dream...not a real-life worry or hypothetical

Last night, I had a dream that my buddy came over to help with the plane, and he pointed to a piece of skin on the aft fuselage. He said "what's going on here?", and pointed to the biggest rivets I've ever seen...like 1" diameter heads. He touched the skin, and the rivets started to fall out. The whole piece (which wasn't any actual piece of the actual plane) basically pulled off of the airframe and dropped the giant-headed rivets all over the floor (the shanks of the rivets were -3 size, though ). It left a gaping hole in the fuselage, and of course, I went, "Oh, s**t...now I have to re-rivet *the whole plane*!" In the dream, I had a massive sinking feeling in my gut that the whole plane would have to be scrapped and I'd have to start over...

So...anybody else ever have strange dreams about their project? TELL ME I'm not the only one here LOL!
