They're coming back

[MysticFaith07]

ok about 2 years ago i had a dream that i was being raped i would yell and scream for my friends who were in the other room and no one came. In the dream i could feel the guy on top of me i could feel him touching me and holding me down while his friend ripped off my clothes. i could feel everything. In the middle of the damage i would wake up and feel pain through out my body like the dream actually happened. this went on for over a week.

well my dreams are starting to return. i have been having dreams of me getting raped again w/ no one coming to help me. the good thing is that it hasn't got so far as to me feeling any of it. i don't feel the struggle or the pain. they started as short dreams but are growing longer by the day. it they become the same painful dreams as before i don't know wat i can do. i pray they don't get that bad.

if you know what they mean, can help me stop them before thay get worse or have any advice at all i would really appreciate it.

That's awful, I feel so bad for you. I'm sorry if this is personal, but have you ever been abused, or been in any way involved in a situation like that? Because having a dream like that once is one thing, but repeated, it must be really traumatic for you. If they don't stop, go to your doctor, he may be able to give you something that'll zonk you out so much you won't be able to dream :P
Is your life okay apart from the dreams? You're not depressed or anything?

my life is fine a lil stress from finals coming which is natural. i miss my fiance like hell and shit is going on at home but i aint depressed. similar thing happened may be it but i can't really say. thats would be a hard thing to explain

Perhaps you're just scared of whatever happened before happening again. Maybe it left you feeling vulnerable, and now you're also maybe insecure about your relationships with your friends and in doubt over whether they would help you when you needed it?

So maybe you just want to be reassured by someone as you have been feeling a lack of 'safeness' in your relationships-maybe related to not seeing your fiancé and the stuff that's going on at home (to do with your family?)

The dreams sound awful, torturing, nightmares. Perhaps you should consider seeing a dream therapist or a psychologist? Or talk to someone you feel comfortable with, someone that you could tell everything to?

omg! i used to have this exact same dream rather often a few years back, but not now. Please, please, please do see a psychologist, it worked well for me, you should try too. I'm really sorry for you..i don't know what else to say..

You need to force yourself to think and dream of something else. These dreams are coming back and bothering you only because you focus on it and let it bother you.
Force them out of your mind and just say no to them, tell those dreams to piss off and don't let it bother you. Force yourself to think of something more cheerful, and focus and happy and fun things in your life, or watch funny videos before you go to bed.
That's what I do. I watch funny videos and I end up laughing in my sleep which is kinda weird but hey it's better than having nightmares. Try it.

"Force yourself to dream something else"

Classic.

Lol I know. You can't change what you dream about. Maybe talking about it with someone would help to get rid of the bad thoughts that are manifesting in your dream.

That is horrible. I know this was a dream but my view on sexual assault is a disgusting crime yet very vileous. If anyone were being sexually assaulted, I would do something about it. If someone were sexually assaulting me, I'd kick them before they got a hold of my feet and scream, "FIRE!," "HELP!" or something that called for an emergency to let those know I am in need of assistance and never give up on fighting the offender. I surly hope you do not dream of that stuff again. If it is interrupting your life, talk to a trusted adult about that dream on how to get that thought out of your mind. Best wishes! -Emily

To be honest, theres no way to predict how you would act in a situation like that. People could say they would fight and never give up but when it actually happens the wave of terror is so strong they freeze up and panic.

Back on topic, theres nothing I can really do to help you. I hope you manage to overcome the dreams.
