I have recently suffered losses in 2 of less than 5 as far as I remember, winning recurring dreams. I also felt more so in the first one that I knew it was a dream. Not sure if it is a feeling after the fact though.

What does matter is that my dream enemies have upped their game significantly. And, again idk if after the fact (once awake) I was "told" this but "what do you expect old bean/boy/bloke, we have had time to plan and prepare, we have gotten better and you haven't." To which i replied "what do you expect, you have time while I don't".

That pseudo conversation is directly about the fact that i don't dream all that often and the dream enemies have much more time wherever they lay in wait to plan together whereas all I get is thinking on the fly while I am in the dream.

Now the first one is zombie themed while I try and defend a military base (i think they come from inside and we are preventing them from escaping. In my last recurrence we lost and the town next door basically went up as though the whole thing were already rigged to blow (it wasn't pre rigged, but the explosion was incredible.)

In this dream the lovers used their ace to tunnel which is either new entirely or they used a different tunnel strat as well as 1 or 2 other variations. In a James bond/Sherlock themed dream.

In all cases I am hamstringed near to instantly and a loss always follows. I don't think it is a weakness or anything like that. It really does seem as simple as they have managed to win somehow. But if there is any significance please lmk. I have only had 1 loss in each dream and it might be my only 2 winning dreams or i may have about 3 or 4 left.

Sorry about spelling and grammar. I was writing this with 1 hours asleep and my eyes almost won't stay open between thought's and words typed... night yall.
