Were my dreams connected together some how?

[fluffbutt1]

Ok, so last night I had 3 non lucid dreams. Although non lucid, they were all pretty vivid. I think they might have been connected together. I'll give an explanation of what happened in all 3 dreams but since they were all so vivd I'll just give a short summary instead of explaining with a lot of detail. Dream 1: I was at school walking with my friend. Everything was normal except for the fact that he was wearing pearls around his neck. I asked if I could have one and he said yes and broke one off for me. I took the pearl, put it in my pocket, and then told him it was for my collection of gems (I don't actually have a collection of gems). and then I woke up at around 1:00 in the morning. I wrote down the dream in my dream journal then fell back asleep. Dream 2: This one was a false awakening. I woke up on the couch in the family room of my house (note: theres a tv in the family room) It was night time and the lights were off. The only light in the room was from the tv which was playing some show on disney channel. The show was about some family, but one of the kids in the family splayed out a bunch of different colored diamonds onto a table. There were a few green diamonds, a few red diamonds, and a few purple diamonds, and all pretty small. After watching a bit of this show on disney channel, I then actually woke up in my bed at around 4:00 in the morning. I actually got up, went to the bathroom to pee, and did a reality check and I found out I was actually awake this time. So I wrote the dream down in my dream journal, and went back to bed. Dream 3: I was some where in my neighborhood with my friends (the one with the pearl necklace from the first dream was there, but wasn't wearing the pearl necklace). We were just talking at first until we saw a swarm of bees and we all ran back to my house. I was the slowest one out of all of us because it felt like something was weighing me down. Here's the interesting part though. While running, I went into my pocket and pulled out all the different colored diamonds I saw on tv in the second dream, and the pearl my friend gave to me in my first dream. We got into my house and I went to my room, and remember how in the first dream I said the pearl was for my "collection of gems"? Well I had a bunch of different gems splayed out all over my floor, organized by color and I put the pearl with all the white colored gems, and I put the diamonds I saw on tv in their respective group of gems (i put the purple diamonds with all the purple gems, the green diamonds with the green gems, and the red diamonds with the red gems.) So were my dreams actually connected with each other? I know for sure it's not just one big dream because I remember waking up between every dream and writing every dream down in my dream journal. I've never had a chain of dreams that seemed to have to do with each other like this until last night. So yeah I just wanted to share that with all of you. Replies would be appreciated. Thanks!
