Had a dream where 1/4 of the population was duplicated/cloned (kind of like Thanos-style finger-snapping everything all at once). This is kind of an atypical dream, since I wasn't in it, although this is hardly the first time that's happened.
Many families were impacted by this on a deeply personal level. For example, while a wife might not have been duplicated, her spouse was, which caused conflict, as only one husband could be the one true husband while the other was just an unwanted clone with all of the original person's memories and feelings. Same with child/parent relationships, etc. There were also problems with personal information (like SS#, credit cards, possessions), as it was unclear who had the rights to these possessions.
I guess society was somehow able to tell which individuals were the clones/duplicates, since these people were generally unwanted and discriminated against by the general public. To counteract this persecution, the cloned individuals formed their own society, in which they would discuss their issues and how to move forward. As society became evermore violent toward them, they became evermore violent toward society to defend themselves.
Eventually the cloned people decided to plan a bloody uprising. In order to take back their place in society, they decided to commit what they called a modern version of the "Kristallnacht," in which everyone would murder their counterpart and take their place as the "real" version of themselves. The riot was carried out, though idk how it ended.

In another dream, I dreamed that I was doing some casual driving in the local area just to explore country roads and see sights. I got kind of lost and found myself in a very strange yet beautiful location. The landscape was reminiscent of the painted desert in AZ (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_Desert_(Arizona) ). However, the landscape was more canyon-like with a deep ravine, in which a town was built into the cliffs.
The town was not modern; it was reminiscent of medieval architecture with stone walls and crenelated castles built jutting out of the walls of the canyon. However, not all of the town had medieval architecture. There were still some modern, cheaply-built strip malls with shops like Dollar General and other businesses you typically see in low-income neighborhoods. So it was like a mix of old historic stone buildings and cheap strip malls.
I went into one of the builds to not only find out where I was (since I was lost) but to also find out more about the town. I went into one of the castle-like buildings. It was a school for magic similar to Hogwarts. I think I signed up for an English 101 class (as a student), but the class called for us to do a shitload of reading, so I dropped it in the first week and tried a different 101 class, which also had too much reading, so I just dropped out of magic college altogether. While I was there, there were some mysterious, clandestine things going on kind of like in the Harry Potter movies. I think I killed a sleeping vampire at one point. And also there was some Area 51 alien shit hidden there.
Anyway, after dropping out of magic college, I checked Google Maps just to see where I was. Turned out this weird town was only 7 to 9 miles away from where I actually lived, which was weird because I had never seen it before and the landscape would make no sense where I live, but I accepted it as fact nonetheless.
