I had a troubling dream last night. My older brother and I were running away from our father. We ended up in my father's old bathroom in the apartment he used to live in (he lives with us again now). My brother and I started to have sex with each other. As we did so, I looked in the mirror and just barely could see my face.

What could this mean?

You might be recalling repressed memories of abuse to you and your brother, by your father.

I don't know what to do about these memories...my father lives with us now and sometimes I feel the abuse even now. I don't know how to protect myself against his influence.

I keep having this dull pain in the center of my chest. I've felt it for the past month now. I feel like my heart is twisted. Everything in my life is wrong; school, work, everything. I don't know how to find myself again.

And I don't know how to help my brother, who is older than me and also suffering.

Abuse is all about control. It is a form of bullying. Work with a therapist to work through your feelings around the abuse. Be dedicated to yourself and your own healing.
Thanks for this!
