I seem to constantly dream of the neighbor who raped me when I was 4. Although he's not much older than me, the whole experience has changed me...sometimes I think for the worst.

I've never been romantically involved with him...but I seem to always dream that I am. I don't dream of sex or anything like that, but I just dream of having those feelings for him.

When he raped me, I guess you could say I had a crush on him...I mean I thought he was cute and everything...but now he just makes me cringe. I hate having these dreams...even if they are harmless in a sense. In the dreams he's good to me and all...but having them just makes me really sick!

Are these dreams normal???

I'm sure that your dreams are normal considering what you have been through. Dreams About an Abuser?

Tainted, first off, is it your birthday? Happy birthday!

I've had dreams about the people who abused me. Not of the abuse but with them as characters. I think this reaction is common since they play a significant role in our subconscious.

He seems to be in every dream anymore. I know it means something but I dunno what.

Some dreams make no sense at all. I have dreams of cheating on my hubby even though i would never do that ever, and it doesnt make any sense. So even though you were never romantically involved with him, it seems some of our dreams create the exact opposite of what we would do.
