Two Dreams Diverged in a Mind

So few months ago I was going through a difficult time, like that is unusual for Mars Hill Grad School students. But there was one night in particular that I had two amazing dreams in the same night. I can't quite get them out of my mind so without further explanation.
Dream 1 So it is a bright and sunny day, so I know that the geographical place was not in Seattle(hahahaha), and I am driving my blue 1997 Nissan Altima. The same car that has broken down on me three times since leaving North Carolina and once the week before I left. So I am driving along and there is someone next to me in the passenger seat. I feel like this person is friendly but I don't remember who it is. And we come to a giant hill. So big immediately my whole body goes into an adrenaline rush and not a good one. Pure unadulterated fear. I could feel it in every fiber of my being. The question, am I going to make it up this hill. As we begin to go up the hill the fear starts to overcome me, and finally I just let out all the fear and punch the gas. The car throws me and my passengers head back and feels like the front of the car is coming off the ground. I am gripping the wheel so hard and my heart is racing as we crest the top of the hill, and there is a sudden let down as I realize there is another hill. I punch the car again, the whole time fully expecting the car to blow up. We crest the top of the hill and all of a sudden I realize that all of the stress has caused the car to overheat. I pull the car off the side of the road underneath a big oak tree in the shade, and pop the hood to let it cool. Eventually I am surrounded by a bunch of men, older men that just like the passenger are familiar to me but not anyone I can identify today. Watching that scene in my head there is a mixed sense of "I know what I am doing, and man I am just a little kid surrounded by all of these men" That is the end of dream number one. I remembered that dream the moment I woke up in the morning and thought about it all day while delivering flowers until about 4:30 in the afternoon when I suddenly remembered dream #2 from that night.
Dream 2 I am walking down what appears to be a street of some sort. It is dark and it seems like the surroundings don't matter much. Lots of gray and even though the scene is on a street it feels like we are inside, almost like being on a set of a movie. But I am surrounded by women, no one I know but I feel comfortable. I look over to the right and I see a giant hulking man, meaning about my size, and this man is wearing all black leather and spikes, like a cartoonish biker dude. Now what gets everyones attention, I can hear all of the women gasp as they see, this man has a choke chain leash. The leash is around a little boys throat. By the way, no one in this dream has a face, just blank heads. So the women gasp as the man in leather has a choke chain leash around the boys throat. Inside of me, I rise up and just wait for him to use it. Knowing that when he does I am going to put a world of hurt on him. No problem within seconds he uses it and chokes the little boy, everyone in the gathering gasps. I throw people out of my way and tackle the beast. I then beat the living hell out of this guy. All the adrenalin in my body shooting out with each violent blast from my knuckles into this guys skull. That is simply where the dream ends. It was a release like I have rarely felt.
Anyway there you have two dreams from the same night. No interpretation would do this justice, but it makes me scratch my head. Maybe I'll never know
