Answer 1

Dreams of rape are common expressions of fears of violence, and of feelings of unwanted attention from members of the same or opposite s*x. Rape can also represent feelings of violation; that one’s personal boundaries are not being respected. In the wake of an actual rape, recurring dreams of the trauma are common.

Dreams of rape are dreams of violence. As a dreamer, you may find yourself as an aggressor, victim, or spectator to the crime. In dreams of this nature, your role and feelings about the others in the event are crucial to understanding the meaning of the dream. If you have recurring dreams of being the victim of rape, you should try to determine if post-traumatic stress is a factor in your dreams.

Being a victim in a non-recurring rape dream usually indicates a message that you are being personally violated, thwarted, or ruthlessly exploited in waking life. In dreams of this nature, the aggressor is a faceless adversary. This could be explained by the fact that people who get close enough to us in life to exploit us often are significant to us in other, more positive ways. The dream is not meant to have an actual aggressor, but simply serve as a warning that you're being overpowered.

Answer 2

When you dream, you're dreaming of things that may be at the back of your mind, and unconsciously, you dreamed of a great fear. It's not something I would worry about. Just be careful and don't be by yourself if you're going out.  

Answer 3

Well, we know 1 thing for sure.  If someone comes over, make sure you know the person and don't open your door quickly.  And maybe it also means you should go out with your friends instead.  Maybe not.  And always be defensive and somewhat protective and careful around places.  It's not like this couldn't happen in real life.

Answer 5

this guy in his 40's = fear, high authority figure

sexual thing to you = things you are forced and not willing to do

You may be losing trust lately to someone you trust. Projecting 40s man doing sexual thing to you symbolize some total loss in trust.  This guy may not be known to you in reality.  However, in dream, it may symbolize some one you don't like or some fear you have in reality. This fear may involve with things you refuse to do.  

Since this dream happened in hotel room with your friends.  That hints about some social or peer pressure you have.  Examine your life, you probably will have a clue what exactly this means.
