What happens in this situation?
My opponent casts Song of the dryads on one my Rat creature. It's a land now.
I cast my Song of the Dryads (SOTD) on his Song of the Dryads. His SOTD is unattached and my Rat is a creature again.
But what happens to both SOTDs? Aura can't exist without enchanting anything, but his SOTD is a land now (not aura anymore). Do both SOFDs stay in the battlefiled? (My SOTD is enchanting now opponent's SOFD and it's a land now). If they will stay in battlefield under whose control will be that SOTD Land? I think opponent will move it from my half of the battlefield back to him in the moment when I'll cast my SOTD on his SOTD and my Rat stops being land.
If a Song of the Dryads becomes attached to another Song of the Dryads, the latter will be a colorless Forest land and thus lose all its usual abilities, including "enchant permanent" (C.R. 305.6, 305.7), and all other card types, including enchantment (C.R. 205.1a). Since that permanent is no longer an enchantment or an artifact (and thus not an Aura, Equipment, or Fortification [C.R. 205.3g-h]), it becomes unattached and remains on the battlefield as a state-based action (C.R. 704.5p), and any Auras that could enchant that permanent, including the other Song of the Dryads, will remain attached to that permanent.
Your opponent's Song will be a land under his control, since nothing changes the controller of the permanent here. It unattaches from your creature because it is not an aura anymore nor is it an equipment. Your Song is still legally attached so it stays on. You control your Song, just like your opponent still controls his (it's just a land now instead of an aura). Control of your Rats, and both Songs never changes in this scenario. It is common practice to place an aura on the object it enchants wherever that is located in the play area, while permanents a player controls are usually placed in his part of the play area. With the aura becoming a land, it is simply moved to accomodate for this. But your opponent always controls the Song here, before an after it gets enchanted by your Song.

Thank you so much. That's absolutely perfect answer, very clearly explained. After reading this everyone must understand it now.
So I'll have my Rat. And my opponent will have his SOTD (now land) with my SOTD (still aura) on it. Is this correct?
The Song of the Dryads that's now a land will be unattached, and the permanent it was formerly attached to will revert to being a Rat creature, and the Song of the Dryads attached to Song of the Dryads that's now a land will still be attached to it.
