Question Posted Monday September 7 2009, 1:08 am

So I was raped like a year and a half ago... well the last thing the guy said was if you tell anybody you dont want to know whats gonna happen. Well I ended up telling someone which got me nowhere. I havent had a nightmare about is for a while now and today I woke up and shaking and crying for a dream that he came and got me. He made me call my mom when I had a gun pointed to my head and tell her I love her and I am sorry we wont be able to see each other anymore. Well my mom called the cops and someone ended up stopping him before he shot me.... right before i woke up he said... I will be back. Im so scared and depressed and I thought I moved on? What does this mean?

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.

I am so sorry you have gone through something like this. Please understand you did not do anything to bring this on yourself. There is NOTHING a woman does, con do or they way she dresses than can justify being raped. Your rapist wants you to believe otherwise as this protects him from you going to the police.

You may think you have put this all behind you, your dream says otherwise. It is not too late to report the rape to the police. As I said above the rapist counts on your guilt in not being caught and made to answer for his crime. By reporting the rape to the police you will not only start the act of closure for yourself but you will prevent other young women from going through what you have. It is not too late to report the rape; as a Felony the crime has a Statue of Limitation for reporting. While this varies from state to state for rape it is generally five years.

I would also like you to contact an organization called, RAIN, www.rain.org. They are the Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network. They also operate a 24/7 hotline – 1-800-656-HOPE. The trained volunteers will put you in touch with a RAINN center in your community to help you. They will work with you to find a therapist to help with the trauma, depression and any self doubt you may be suffering.

While you have not said I have a feeling this may have been a form of date rape. Meaning you know the person who raped you. If I am correct you are probably conflicted about reporting the rape and the trouble it will cause him, his family and you. Think about what I first said above; think about what you have suffered. What he may suffer is nothing compared to what you have suffered, also think about the other women who you will be saving from what you have suffered by stopping him from possibly raping others.

Please contact RAINN, contact the Police and if you want you could talk to your parents as well. I am sure they will be supportive of any decision you make.

OMG what an animal!i am soo sooo soooo sorry that you were put through that!..the person below did some good research and that could be the reason of your dream.
Adding to their advice i think that this dream is wwhat you subconsciencely feel within yourself. you have all this fear bottled in you and all this anger. you wnat to do soemthing and give him what he deserves for what that sick F**** did to you but angain you want to consider your safety first. this is all bottled up inside you so the way your getting rid of this angry and fear is through your dreams.
The reason why your depressed is because that dream felt so real that it had a physical and mental impact on you.
you should see a school counsellor and just talk to him about. befor eyou talk to him just ask him that you want this to stay strictly confedential etc and ofcourse he will keep it that way. It will really help even though you think it wont. you need to let all this sadness, anxiety, fear you need to let it all out.

my question to you is. i know you cant go back intime and retrieve your dignity or stop the rape but what would you do today to protect that girl inside you that was torminted and traumatised from going through anything like that again?how will you protect her today and for the future?

Dont ever think your alone because even a stranger can care for you...im here if you need anything

I'm sorry this happened to you

This might help you out below..

Hostage
To dream that you are a hostage, indicates that you are feeling victimized and powerlessness. You may also be feeling limited in your choices or physically immobilized. Perhaps this dream is paralleling some situation/difficulties in your daily life or relationship. Alternatively, it suggests that a part of yourself is not be fully expressed.


Gun
To see a gun in your dream, symbolizes aggression, anger, and potential danger. You may be dealing with issues of passiveness/aggressiveness and authority/dependence. Alternatively, a gun represents the penis and male sexual drive. Thus, the gun may mean power or impotence, depending on whether the gun went off or misfired.


Threaten
To dream that you are being threatened, indicates that you have internalized some fear and are feeling inadequate or oppressed.
