Reoccurring Rape Dreams

*This maybe gets a tiny bit graphic*

I would like to clarify beforehand that I’ve never been sexually assaulted, raped, or kidnapped before. So I don’t think the root of my dreams could be my past trauma or something.

So for at least a couple months now I have these re-occurring dreams of someone cornering me, or chasing me, or kidnapping me, or even restraining me because their goal is to rape me. In these dreams that part never happens cause either I get away, I kill the person, or I wake up. Which I guess is nice but all in all I’d rather have a different dream😂

For context, I’ll tell you my dream last night. It does have to do with transgender people so another clarification: I know maybe 1% of the trans community is like this, I don’t know why it showed up in my dream.

My sister and I went to the bathroom and a very male presenting trans woman came into the bathroom with us. She began talking to us, asking if we thought she was passing or not. She complained about still having a d*** and said she wanted to show it to us. She climbed into our stall and started grabbing us. I went crazy. I remember clawing her eyes out. I think she died.

So my sister and I walked home after that. She went ahead and I followed behind. On our way home a nice old man was sitting and I thought maybe I could talk to him about what happened. However, as soon as I sat next to him he grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go. I finally got away and he chased me until I woke up.

So. Evidently these are not the best dreams ever😅 and they come at least once a week. I have a therapist but I feel weird mentioning it. Should I bring it up with her? Or is there something else I could do? And what on earth could these dreams mean in the first place?
