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.
