I Have Disturbing Nightmares

Hi, I have very disturbing nightmares. I usually dream that someone is raping me. I scream at night, and wake up in sweat with rapid heart beating. What should I do?

Hi, I had a period when I dreamt the same things as you. It was in high school, and I never had a boyfriend before. However, I kept having those disturbing nightmares about being raped. I was too much embarrassed to talk to anyone about this. The only person I spoke with is my sister, and she said that I was weird. Those nightmares were very disturbing, and I didn’t know what they meant. I was afraid to think what could be causing those nightmares. I didn’t want to find out that I had a similar experience once, I couldn’t live with that. Eventually, I stopped having those disturbing dreams, and I forgot all about it until now. I hope this reminding won’t bring my nightmares back.
