Its like pausing a movie, then coming back to it the next day. Well it went on up untill the beginning of sophmore year when I walked into my fourth period class. I had never known the man before then, and the second I walked into that class and looked at my teachers face, I realized it was my rapist. Like I had said though, I had NEVER met and or seen this man. Every night now that I know him, the dreams have slipped more into bondage, torture, and humiliation. He rapes me on the desk that I sit behind. I am scared. Anyone know how I could have known him? Any ideas on ANYTHING will help.
Firstly, there are practical ways to be safe in most environments. If you feel in danger from someone, try to make sure you dont end up in a vulnerable situation with them.
That threat indeed translated to your teacher whom you probably intuitively felt threatened by anyway. Those feelings might be similar and the face of the teacher is thereby attached.
The increased intensity of the dreams would be a bigger concern in my mind. There is a fear there and it should be addressed. Be smart, and do what you can do to be safe in waking life. Then, its essential that whatever is bothering you be brought to light to you.
Your subconscious is attempting to communicate, and many times, emotional experiences in the dream can be overwhelmingly powerful. One must go behind the curtain to see the truth.
Project positive, protective thoughts before sleeping. Suggest to yourself that there is a guardian, watching over you. Some people use ancestors, some angels, some power animals, some god and so on. Whatever can persuade your heart to confidence and safety.
Perhaps eventually, you might somehow send a message back to your unconscious mind. Whether that is through lucidity, or dream incubation, or mantras, communication and awareness is always key.
