confusing dreams last night and this morning I need help organizing and interpretting them!

So i woke up at 7:30 earlier and was able to recall one dream about an airport experience... I felt like there was something missing, another dream that perhaps I should have remembered. I went back to sleep for another 4 hours. Still non-lucid experience but something clicked, it was like my most recent dream (from 7:30-12) was a part 2. Like I had dreamed a part 1 before. I THINK that the part one was what i seemed to be missing from my first 5-6 hours of sleep. maybe coming before my airport experience. so now I want to try to put the two parts together. Part one still feels very jumbled but this is what I can remember:

part one- I remember being somewhere. felt like I was out of the country. Somewhere tropical. I think It was Ecuador. I was with a bunch of teachers. some of which I had met before and not liked in the slightest. We went to the top of an observation tower and saw a huge city. My grandmother was also there for some weird reason I remember saying "good thing she didn't come up to the top of the observatory tower, she hates heights" This is one of my only memories with the teachers and my grandmother. Somehow I feel like I went somewhere else, but still in Ecuador. I was deep in the rain forest with many of my classmates including a previous girlfriend. We were being chased by something i can't remember now. I was driving some sort of car... but through rivers... over the surface of rivers. somehow my foot got chopped off along the way. I didn't feel any pain and perhaps this would have been the best moment to do a DILD and realize what was going on. The next thing i remember was still with my classmates and we were at a bathing spring standing around. I thought it would be funny to pull down an old mans shorts. I did this and the next thing I know everyone is extremely mad at me and all of my classmates expect me to apologize.

Part two- While connected to some events that occurred in part one, part two had a different setting once again. I was in a huge mansion located in Mexico with my mom and brother (i don't ever remember him appearing but my mom did talk about what he was doing and it was still in Mexico), most of the same classmates as in the previous dream, and one of my old teachers?!?!? My mom and I were getting a flight out of the country that night (for some reason I don't think the other people were). It would take months to get home... which didn't make sense to me but I never questioned it. first scene I remember from this dream is when my teacher was giving us all some kind of speech or lecture. I sat through it with the rest of my friends and classmates until the end. Everyone left except for me and my old girlfriend. I believe that she was not involved in the previous sequences of events that took place in my earlier dream, part one. She told me that I needed to apologize to all the people who had been there with me. all the people I had hurt. I listened and accepted that it should be done, however i still can't remember what I had done (was it pulling down the old man's pants?!?!?). She wanted to go for a walk so that we could talk about it. We got ready to go for a walk and were about to leave when my mom interrupted us and started talking about our flight. This is my last memory of the dream.

So now I'm pretty confused and I have a lot of questions.... but somehow two dreams from different times are related? I also probably missed a couple good chances to go lucid.

First off, we all miss perfectly good opportunities to go lucid :) It's the worst when you're talking with a DC about LDing or meeting other members from DreamViews or when you're flying... though actually the last time I flew it triggered lucidity :P Doesn't always happen, though.

Anyway, your experience isn't that unusual. I've seen a number of posts about people having dreams that continue on from where they left off when they woke up or something similar to it. Perhaps the first dream made some sort of impression upon you and you ended up going back into it or something similar to it when you fell asleep. If you weren't awake for very long, that could have also contributed. Sometimes there are themes or actions or ideas that our minds latch onto for some reason or another, even if we don't consciously think of them much.

I find it funny how some DCs react. It just makes you look at them and think "Wait, what? This is my dream." :P
