Rape

Freud believed that to dream of rape for a man is associated with a sadistic expression of sexual urges in waking life. For a woman, it is about control and power. So you had a dream of rape? I will walk you through the meaning.

​​​​​​What is the general dream interpretation of rape?

It's normal to be freaked out by a dream of rape, but believe it, or not these kinds of dreams are more common than you might think. The psyche often has to work on issues of power and control and when there is a situation in your waking world which needs immediate resolve. Rape can appear in a range of guises in the dream. You may see the actual physical act of rape or witness rape. This means a lack of control and direction in life. If the rape in your dream is homosexual in nature then this is connected to feeling a loss of control with the actual masculine side of your persona. If you encountered marital rape during the dream, and your husband and wife raped you then this indicates that you are losing control over a situation. Any type of forcible rape carried out on yourself in a dream is associated with a lack of being in control, normally at work. If you don't work it can mean that you lack control in a relationship or certain area of your life. Scroll down to understand your dream further.

You are looking to fill your magnetic love power and you will become irresistible to a loved one. If you are abducted or kidnapped or legally forced into rape, such as being raped during a war then this is deemed to be associated with understanding your inner desires. If we look at the words abduct and also kidnapped it comes from Scandinavian and Latin words, for this to occur in the dream indicates a new phase of life. Oh and lastly, if trafficking and slavery, if featured in this dream, indicates a loss of control in waking life. Now, we will look at specific details of being raped in a dream as follows, so read on!

Some users have contacted me when they have had the dream of rape many times. But what does this mean? Dreaming of repetitive recurring dreams of rape is connected to feeling "violated" in waking life. Are you feeling victimized? Any dream of sexual assault is connected to feeling vulnerable in waking life. There is a situation "out of control, " and it is time for you to move on in life. You may be facing situations that are proving difficult. Don't worry, with this comes the opportunity to correct things.

I am going to now look at some closer aspects of the details in the dream, these might have featured in your dream. If the rapist was wearing mask, or covered their heads then psychologically this means you are feeling a lack of control in various aspects of your life. I am a great believer that sometimes you will get a powerful spiritual message in your dream. When you dream of being raped this is an open spiritual call that you are having control taken away from you and now is the time to fight back. If you are dealing with a legal battle such as custody or divorce or feeling like you are being gravely taken advantage of then, this is not a time to try and play nice. Remember, you should always look after number one! Now is the time to act and demand that your personal needs are met and that you will be given what you deserve. I am going to put it simply: this is a kind of dream indicates that you need to gain the control in the situation back before you are screwed. Now, you may dream of actually liking the rape, when this happens it is normally associated with the "dead bedroom" syndrome in that you are feeling you are not getting enough sexual gratification. Let me turn this dream around, it may mean that you are lacking affection which affects your emotional well-being. If we look at this dream from a more psychological view, the rape imagery can be connected to self-control.

This is not to say that there you may feel depressed or that your mental state of mind is challenged after having this dream. Rape is quite a difficult experience to go through. To dream of being raped and the experience you suffered in the dream was frightening can be associated with challenging experiences into a more productive area of life. To encounter violence connected to the dream indicates that you must channel experiences into a more productive direction in life.

A gang rape featured in a dream is an indication of somebody using their very strong character to exert a destructive time on other people. I am sure you will agree that this dream is focused on aggression and in older dream analysis indicates a weakness of will.

By the way, to commit rape in your dream indicates that you were worried about sexual problems in a relationship, additionally, this can to some degree indicate possible uncertainty in a relationship. If we look at a more mystical interpretation which is really where I get excited the older dream dictionaries from the Victorian era indicate that rape is often associated with pride. In one ancient dream account, I read from the 1920s by an author called Dr Gregory states "if a woman dreams of being raped it indicates that somebody close to her will threaten her pride." Even though this is quote old-fashioned it can still have meaning today. To dream a friend is raped indicates that goals can truly demand our best efforts If we focus on ourselves. The dream can also be associated with an event of the past where we feel a lack of control.

What can it mean to see an ex-partner raped in a dream?

This indicates that a relationship may be stretched in the future. If you are the rapist in a dream, then this is a desire for more control as well. Your mind is "acting out" that you take control in a dream state. This needs to transfer to your waking world.

Let's turn to more modern and ancient dream dictionaries in order to interpret this dream. It has been stated that this dream is a reflection of one’s attitude to the opposite sex. It can often suggest a sense of resentment towards a lover and that your own self-esteem is being challenged. Is it being challenged? How are you feeling about yourself?

​​​​​​But what if you are the person carrying out rape in the dream?

Then it is a form of power and dominance. Of course, this doesn't mean you need to go around raping people in real life, but you should consider ways in which you should be more assertive, confident, or willful. Saving someone or helping someone after a rape is a good omen for your life. While the dream can be traumatic because you are witnessing someone being open or having to take charge to protect others, this is a sign of positive times in your life. Often these kinds of dreams are about someone denotes that you are in the process of maturity.

Generally, depending on the details to dream of a man being raped by a man is associated with forces in waking life. This dream means that you have a "powerful will" and that you are successfully controlling a situation with force, so well done! Dreaming of being raped by the opposite sex is associated with success against all of the odds. As concluded above it about taking charge of the world around you. Rule of thumb, if you're dreaming of being raped by a man (if you are a women) and a man dreaming of being raped by women (if you are a man) is all about "control" in waking life. It can indicate that you have the personality to take charge of the world around you. At the very least, this dream has materialized in the subconscious mind because there has been doubting over controlling some situation through the force of your own personality.

Next, let's look at more about the "sex" of the person carrying out the rape, a dream of being raped by the same sex, for example, women raping a woman, or a man raping a man holds no further meaning than what we have already outlined. It is all about control, and the dream signifies that it is important to understand any contradictions that have been brought together and howled under control. In most dream situations rape is about control. I'm glad to have cleared this up. This is not to hide the negative undertones of such a dream. Obviously, being raped by somebody can be disturbing. It basically means that you need to take charge of the world around you will control things in a much better way. Trying to think of the rape dream as a challenge to your own control.

To dream of rape that is odd, or to have a dream that is highly weird or crazy is associated with control and the sense that you need to find approaches to difficulties. Ok, this is rather disturbing but covering it will be beneficial to some users. To dream of rape connected to animals suggests that you need to take charge of your own destiny. Sometimes rape dreams are a sign of pregnancy. Weird and crazy rape dreams are common during pregnancy, and the mind tends to be overactive due to hormones. Again, do not be concerned with these dreams, but consider what areas of your life need to be simplified so that you can cut down on stress.

If you were raped in a dream but you survived and fought back, consider ways where you are overcoming your own barriers in life. These dreams are perhaps the scariest because you feel like they are real and you experience the rape from beginning to end, and it can feel as if you were really violated. Often there are ways in which you are being threatened or taken advantage of, and you feel that perhaps you are making a big deal out of a situation. When you are reacting this way to your dreams chances are that your own fears about a person or situation are founded, and you should keep up your guard.

To want to be raped in a dream indicates you wish someone to take control of a situation you have been struggling with. To be raped in real life and have flashbacks is perfectly natural. You need to try to work through the trauma with a therapist and gain control over the situation.

If you perform any type of magical psychic work, then it is possible that you can be raped by a demon.

The two main demons are incubus (male sexual demon) and succubus (female sexual demon) at times these Demons focus on the attack to confuse the dreamer about sexual orientation. The way to protect yourself against "demon rape" dreams is to say "slam" when they appear. Next time, do this and you will be surprised.

The chase is connected to the energy that you need to focus on - to reach the goals in your life. Being chased and then raped in a dream indicates the stresses and strains of daily life.

The promiscuous nature of females and males comes from far-reaching history. Did you know a large number of people do not report a proper rape to authorities, but what happens if this occurs in your dream? Well, you are trying to be innocent in life, you need to take the reins of control and NOT blame yourself.

What is the dream psychology on rape dreams?

For a female, Freud believed a “rape” dream was a representation of possible sexual fears. For a man, it is connected to a symbol of feeling destroyed or controlled by another. Just remember that a rape dream is distinct from any other dream. The imagery in the dream can be connected to the famous Carl Jung’s notion of what is called “Active Imagination” in that the dream can occur in order to find the healing qualities of the subconscious mind. This dream will challenge your mind. It is connected to your natural capacity in the waking world to deal with the difficulties experienced in the dream. After having such a dream it is common to feel a sense of depression. Remember though, that this dream happened for a reason. You don’t need a dream psychologist to unravel this dream, you really need to look "within" to find out why you had this dream. Spiritually and psychologically analysis of rape in dreams point to the fact this dream is telling you to listen to your inner voice. This dream is about feeling out of control in waking life. You may find there is an insane amount of information that I have written below. This is for good reason. Embrace this dream, spend some time interpreting every aspect and draw your own conclusion on what your soul needs to heal and not feel powerless in daily life.

As I have touched on already rape in dreams is consciously connected to trauma. When you dream of rape this can be a reaction to your own past trauma which was either sexual abuse or molestation, so if this happened to you I am deeply saddened. It takes allot in life to move forward after having such trauma! From another perspective, Carl Jung believed rape dreams were all about control and energy. If you are a man and have dreams of being raped by another man and this suggests that somebody's actions are not well-meaning in life. The rape itself can also signify being controlled by another. Are these dreams haunting you? I can imagine that you are still rather upset, in real life to be a victim of rape in a dream can be rather traumatic, in the dream state I know that you experience the same feelings of panic to a lesser degree.

First of all, it is important to understand that the rape itself is associated with not only the actual physical act but also the mental act. Rape has for a long time been associated with our culture. When researching this dream meaning, which took months it is clear that there are many historical accounts of rape, crimes and has for years been associated with the perception of control. The penetration of the penis (or another object) into the vagina without having the consent of the women or man can be a worrying dream.

If you have had a past experience of abuse or trauma then the reliving of this event in your own dream can be a way that your mind is trying to work out what you have been put through. Assuming that you have not had any kind of abuse or have been raped, then the dream of rape can actually mean many things spiritually. This can range from a desire to lose control, taboo thoughts, or even an unconscious desire to be violated. In my opinion, to dream that you have been raped suggests a sadistic expression of sexual desire. You should not feel guilty or disturbed by these dreams as the dream does not always have a negative connotation. Understand that this, these types of dreams can be quite powerful and moving through, and often they cause a visceral reaction once you wake up. I hope I got my point across well, and this dream can cause a number of worrying feelings. If your thinking anything like me then you are probably wondering if this is a prediction. No, it is not the dream is 99% symbolic. Ok, let's now move on.
