How do you deal with rape nightmares?

Question

I'm currently lying on the couch with a blanket and pillow on the verge of crying because I had a nightmare last night where I was raped again...

Answer

I don't.  I just let it pass.  Nothing I can do about it.  Just something I have to live with.  I've tried everything and I just can't focus after one of those nightmares.

Answer

I had a cat that would sit by me at night waiting to comfort me every time I had a nightmare, and I also sometimes call or text friends about it and listen to music and I'll draw or wright

Answer

For a while after mine happened I would sleep in the floor of my younger brothers room, or I'd let my dog sleep in my bed. It helped me sleep to know there was someone else in my room breathing that would be alerted if anyone broke in. Camomile tea with lavender helped me relax enough to sleep.
 Taking 5mg melatonin gave me dreamless sleep.

Answer

Pray every night and it will go away. I just recently stopped praying and talking to the man upstairs and the terrors came back..
