I had the man who molested me when I was 10 in a dream about 6-8 years ago. It surprised me. I never told my stepmother about it, I just avoided the man as best I could the next several years he was in my life, made sure I was never alone with him again. I kept all the anxiety about the situation and the feeling of "wrongness" that I never shared, etc. (I was too young to quite understand what was wrong, only "that" it was wrong and did not feel right) and the knowing my stepmother still "liked" him, etc., he worked for my father in close association with our family. In the dream the 40+ years had passed and we were all that much older but, in the dream, my stepmother was still alive and that was the odd part of the dream, it centered on wanting to pleasantly surprise her with bringing the two together as they hadn't seen each other since then. I woke confused and I guess still thinking about "guilt" too, as you say, even though we were both definitely not guilty of anything! It was like I was disappointed I couldn't get the two together when, in real life, I definitely "should" not want that.
