I had a horrible dream that I was raped! It seemed so real and I'm really shakey and scared now?

Question

I had the dream last night and it felt so real and it was someone close to me. Help what can I do to calm myself down because it was only a dream right? I'm having a hard time telling if it really happened or not!

Answer 1

Hun, yeah I know I am late on answering this but oh well. Remember it was only a dream. If it was real you would most likely remember. I know during a rape there is usually a struggle at times. Is there any new bruises on your body? Is there any disruptence to furniture? I think it was just a dream. Anyways, you just need too relax and know that the person that you are close to is probably not going to do something like that. What were you thinking about before you went to bed because that could affect your dreams.

Answer 2

I know how ya feel.

Just relax dont be scared, I know you

may feel so different about, or around

the person who raped  you in the dream. But just relax, and keep reminding youself it wasnt real, and thank God it wasnt real.

Answer 3

If you were -you would know it! You most certainly can tell the difference between a bad dream & the real horrific thing. If you ever have been raped you would realize how very insensitive this question is ..

Answer 4

talk it over with a friend tell them every detail usually wen u do this with a dream in the middle of describing it youll realize something that meant it could only be a dream
