    Hi,
    You've never seen me on this web site, mainly because I don't dream. Usually I just see random pictures like a Rhino or a toaster, and I here some one talking. But last night was different.
    There was a girl who was into me last year, long story short, she made me go crazy. (I thought god was talking to me and stuff. I've gotten help)
    Last night I had a dream that she came in to my house and followed me around all day. She just bugged me so much that I wanted to kill her, so I threw her into my room and started to rape her. I was punching her and hitting her as I was thrusting myself in her cold, smoking hot body.... The more I hit her, the more she loved it.
    When I "Finished" she smiled, and let out a cold hearted, half silent whisper of a laugh and said, "thats all I've ever wanted from you..."
    I came to the conclusion that she pushed me so far that she raped me of my dignity.

    My 1st question, is rape in dreams normal?
    and I'd also like some help interpreting the dream.
    Thanks

    Yes, rape in a dream can be normal. Here is what the dream dictionary says about rape in dreams.

    Rape in a dream often has to do with control and anger.

    It seems like this girl made you lose control of yourself in a way (she made you go crazy) and in the dream when you raped her you were acting out your anger and frustration at her and regaining control of things.

    What you said about her raping you of your dignity also makes sense.

    As long as you don't have thoughts about raping her or anyone else when you are awake, I think this dream is pretty normal. In fact, it may be healthy because it is allowing you to release your anger in a safe way.

    Yes normal~ though not for all the reasons given above, from an archetypal perspective. I am assuming you are male...?

    Dreams are the unconscious making contact with consciousness, drawing on symbols that have meaning for you. Rape is a horrendous act in the physical world; the dream uses this as a metaphor for a horrendous experience within~ something unconsious becoming embodied; something unconsious becoming conscious; the soul becoming concrete. The forcing of a physical reality on something that wishes to remain unconscious.

    Remember, this is metaphor, not literal.

    I suggest you google Pan and the Nightmare by W.H.Roscher and James Hillman. Hillman is a depth psychologist or archetypal psychologist. Sorry, I did not keep the link for my pdf download, if you pm your email I can send you a copy.

    People who have had suffered a traumatic experience in the past may relive this experience in their dreams as part of post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Since you are already receiving counseling (unless you have stopped?) you will probably deal with any unresolved issues that may be causing these dreams in your counseling.

    You might find this page on being violent in dreams to be of help.
