Nightmares and night sweats

I’m not posting about my kid here, I’m posting about myself. 🌚 I just woke up from the most awful nightmare where a man was trying to rape me and I woke up drenched in sweat. I had nightmares and night sweats a TON when I was pregnant but never since then and I’m kinda worried there could be something wrong with me. How seriously should I take this? Has this happened to anyone else when not pregnant, and what do you think caused it for you?

I don’t have a history of sexual trauma, per say, but I was sexually abused as a child and witnessed the police stopping my father’s suicide attempt. Could this be affecting me all these years later?
