tw: rape

Re: tw: rape

[(Anonymous)]

A couple of days ago I had a really graphic rape dream after accidentally seeing graphic untagged rape on my tumblr dash. I dreamed I was drugged and raped by my uncles, that it was a known thing that had happened to other female relatives, that they said a lot of the same things my abusive (but not sexually abusive) ex used to say to me after making something he did into *my* problem. I woke up crying, I haven't been able to sleep much sense, I haven't been able to eat much, I haven't been able to look any of those relatives or their wives in the eye.

I know logically these people would never hurt me, that it was all just a dumb dream that came from seeing something that bothered me before going to bed. But I can't get myself to calm down about it. I've never been sexually assulted so I can't understand why I'm having such a visceral reaction.

I know I'm just being ridiculous. I know I need to just buck up and get over it. It was just a stupid dream. But I just needed to get it off my chest because everyone keeps asking me what's wrong and I don't know how to explain my reaction to the dream without sounding like I *actually* think my family would do such a thing.

Man, I'm sorry you had a dream like that, anon. It's awful.

Sometimes in nightmares, our minds can produce some terrible stuff. And I wake up in tears thinking: "Where the hell did THAT come from?"

It's understandable you're feeling that way. Because although you know it wasn't real NOW, in dreams, our minds just accept stuff. In the dream, it feels like it's all really happening. So it has the same emotional impact on us.

Naturally, it will take some time for you to recover from it. Please don't blame yourself for it. Likely it's just a response to stress - your mind converting it into something else. And you know your relatives would never do something like that to you in reality.

I think if you explained it, they'd understand. But you don't have to tell them if you don't want to.

I don't think I could tell them because I *know* one of the people in question would really get offended and it would cause issues between the family.

I know you're right, and thank you for saying it. I just wish I could somehow erase it and never had needed to deal with it, you know? Getting it off my chest did at least make me feel a little better

I hope you feel better soon! :)
