I had a dream recently that escalated into attempted rape. At first I was disturbed by my actions - I was not lucid per se but felt upon waking that I had been in control of my actions (as I believe we always are to varying extents - I'm not sure of the consensus here), convinced of the authenticity of the dream scenario. However, further reflection has given me an insight into human behaviour.
You see, what started as a misunderstanding lead to, from one perspective, "justifiable" harassment of me by a woman. In order to quell the affront, I made physical protest, she resisted and greater reactionary violence ensued. At this level of physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, thoughts of a particular nature (stressing that last word) are programmed within us to occur and, in my semi conscious state of reduced inhibition I opted to act on these thoughts-turned-urges. As you may be happy to here my broader mind would not let me commit such a crime and sent an elderly man to put some lead into my chest.
Each step was forgiveable of an ignorant creature such as my sleeping self, ruled by emotion and deprived of clear thought. Anyway I thought I'd add this as it seemed relevant to the thread, if not the OP.
P.s. I joined the forum slightly before the topic of rape came to my attention.
