Collecting my vivariums and taking them to my uncle's house

I'm walking up a driveway and realize my frog vivariums are scattered all around outside - "outside" is also a large department store. I decide to gather the vivariums into one place. I come across clumps of mowed grass and lift them up to find many offspring of my frogs. I'm catching many frogs and putting them into vivariums.

I'm carrying a vivarium to my uncle's house, which is an ultra-modern structure with an expansive patio. The vivarium is very heavy and I have to pause to put it down and rest frequently. In the dream, my uncle is married to a Chinese woman who speaks little English. I place the vivarium on the patio and my uncle shows me a huge pump the former owners - an elderly gay couple - used to power many large saltwater aquariums.

My uncle leads me down a steep fall-off on one side of the patio onto top of the massive pump. I wonder if I can adapt it to use to power waterfalls and misters in my frog vivariums.
