Hi there. I've had disturbing dreams like that before, so I know how bad it feels and how hard they are to shake. Just off the bat, I would say that since the feelings you took away from the dream were being helpless and violated that those feelings might be a place to start, instead of on the dream rape. I can't even begin to decode the dream, not knowing you or your situation, but I'll tell you something that has helped me in the past. If this was "just a dream", then everybody and everything in the dream came from you and your subconscious, if you will. Do you meditate? Even if you don't, my suggestion would be to get really relaxed and comfortable, clear your mind for a while, and then invite each "person" in the dream into your mind and ask them what they mean and why they were in your dream. Since they are all from you, you should be able to answer. Just make a note of any impressions or feelings that come up and you will probably get some clues as to what the dream is all about. |
