Dream Journal Ultimate

So, this was a war centric dream. It seemed to be a mix of ROTC Experiences mixed with some Star Wars and jedi, at some places from my younger days. It was a bright sunny day, perhaps not a cloud in the sky. The first area (that I recall) was supposed to be Northwest West of Prairie Crossing. We were just North of the Road (we might've started by travelling Westward on the road). We initially were travelling West, but then travelled North. To our South was a couple dozen meters of grass and then a tree line before another 100 meters of green grass and then 4 foot tall yellow brown prairie grass. Big Bluestem and the like. To our East was trees and many very small indentations and elevations. Miniaturized hills that were no more than 4 foot tall/deep at most. Perfect to use as cover though. To our North was the East-West running Road that we were initially on. It was empty. Beyond that was endless tall prairie grass. And to the West was 20 meters of Prairie grass, a tree line, and then some factories They were just giant beige/brown colored buildings a couple stories tall, not spewing smoke or anything. I recalled my mom taking me beyond there to a road where I used to turn in and play soccer there... okay then, having childhood memories in my dream that never happened in a location that isn't real but fits somewhere in the real world. I point this out the squad but we decide to go South here. Now, onto the exciting stuff. I recall moving around in I believe four man teams. I remember seeing other teams in BDU camoflague (Like typical dark green brown splotchy uniforms that the US used before the 2000's and before the 90's mostly I think) and maybe us too. So we were kind of on training exercises with our team, seeing and not always being hostile with other teams. At times I thought we were a clone commando unit, but I don't recall ever having the armor or anything. Since we were given the orders to attack and secure an area (we just knew it, I don't recall being given any orders), I was wondering if other groups got the sane attack an area orders, or if they would be dug in defending. In particular, one team had Given in it... they rushed away from us... maybe to get ready to fight us? This is a direct callback to my real life in ROTC during Field Training Exercises (FTX's) only with four man teams (in the dream) as opposed to full platoons (30ish people in real life). But unlike real life, we did end up travelling with a jedi. She was green skinned and had a double bladed (green?) lightsaber. She had medium long black hair. Maybe kind of like if Gamorra from Guardians of the Galaxy were a jedi. Anyways, this backs up how we were kind of a clone commando team... working with a Jedi. Under that logic the prairie setting fits right in with the Star Wars Republic Commando novel Hard Contact. So we headed South away from the road. Past the tree line so we are on an open green grass field with trees to our North behind us, prairie grass in all other directions, and those factory buildings to the West. Before long we hear a whistling sound and yell out incoming while diving to the ground. A couple more mortar shells fall before we call it clear and start rushing forward. At this point, I believe we are wearing white clone commando armor, without the helmet, the Jedi however is still just in clothing. We rush to the tall grass as we see enemy contacts (they may have been mostly scattered droids, like B2 Super Battle Droids from Star Wars). A Firefight continues before another round of shelling reaches us. We hit the dirt again. Now some of the shells are landing almost directly on us. I try and cover the Jedi's body by kneeling over her with a rectangular metal piece that acts as a shrapnel shield. As soon as it stops we are up and again firing away hostiles. They are scattered and maybe about ten or so. A third round of mortar shells catch us by surprise hitting the unarmored Jedi, we rush over and huddle around her to protect her. I see see shells landing a few feet in front of me and I see more shells falling from the sky, but I feel unscathed. Somehow, Anakin Skywalker (turned as a more muscular taller Vader?) appears. Despite being wounded the green Jedi gets up to face him. They begin to duel on the empty green grass field. As she fights him, we dispatch the rest of the droids and then feel helpless as the Jedi duel it out on this sunny day in the middle of a field. She starts off controlled but gets more enraged as the fight wears on. Duel of the Fates from Star Wars is playing. This setting eventually becomes my home basement somehow. She hustled towards Anakin jumping and spinning before slicing him into pieces. This is a little confusing. I see him fall over in pieces, slowly and dramatically, like Darth Maul (albeit with no pit of doom). Inexplicably, he comes together, and falls apart again, slightly differently. And then somehow, we are in my kitchen like area and they are fighting again. Apparently my kitchen now is bigger and has two toilet stalls in it. It's weird. They duel a little more before Anakin fights her into a stall. I don't see it, but she is slain, and I don't recall what happens to him. He may walk off, or stay by us, he has no qualms with us... Perhaps because we are clones and he is Vader hunting jedi. At least one other squad member is with me and we munch on a snack. He is shorter and smaller than me, (and I'm only 5'4"). He says something like, "Well I'm glad it wasn't my fault for once that a woman died." Apparently I had a thing for the Jedi. Therefore it was my fault. Soon after, the dream ended.
