Thread: Strange Back To Back Dreams

I'll cut to the chase here. Friday night or Saturday morning, however you look at it, I dreamt a very vivid dream of such a clarity I haven't been able to achieve in a while. Wasn't lucid, just extremely logical and vivid. My school was taken over by another school and the campus turned into a prison camp of sorts. This happened since I lost in a lightsaber battle to some random guy. Now, other than the little battle, which was actually pretty fun, the rest of the dream I experienced this overwhelming feeling or emotion of oppression. I literally woke up feeling as if a societal cinder block was placed over my chest, it was so humiliating and degrading to be taken over by this other school (who just so happens to be major wrestling rivals.) I woke up and was pretty happy about my vivid dream and went about my day.

Saturday night, I go to bed, and nearly experience the same exact dream. This time, I am a military commander as the Russians are invading America and I make a mistake, ultimately letting the Russians rapidly advance through the South (it is funny that they invaded through the South first) before reaching my home. I then am running through my house trying to evade the invading troops but am finally captured. They make my house into a prison and I stick there for a while. However, I soon switch and I am in a jungle fighting against the Russians with the rest of the American army. However, during the entire dream I felt nearly the same exact feeling in the first, that I had been defeated, subdued.

So, my big question/problem is how similar these two dreams are in theme. What do you all think of it and are there any comparisons you can find in the two dreams that I can't? I've never had a dream like this before where I feel emotion on this level, which is part of the reason why I am weirded out.
