Was I sexually abused?!

Was I sexually abused?

I had a dream that some hand was touching me. It was just a flash and I thought it was a little weird but then didnt think much of it. However the next day when I got in the car to go to a baseball game with my dad I got the flash again and I recognized the hand as his in the dream. Sitting in the passenger seat I all of the sudden wanted to jump out of the car so I dont have to be next to him. The whole thing really threw me off and i was afraid and I was hoping it was just a dream thing but I cant ignore how strong the emotions were. Any comments are appreciated. Thank u.

I had a similar thing happen to me, when i was a teenager, the dream was re-occurring and involved an uncle, and every boyfriend I had, before being intimate with me, just assumed I had been raped before. These things put together made me wonder whether my subconscious really was remembering something that had happened to me. I thought about it hard and couldnt physically remember anything happening to me. So I decided, that it wasnt affecting me psychologically apart from the dreams, I accepted that it could be a possibility but that speaking of it to someone else, would only cause hurt, as I was only speculating. And its a horrible sensation to have the thought in the first place - but the emotions, like you said can be so strong. I made peace with the existance of a possibility and left it at that. I had not thought of this in years, until reading your question, and ive never told anyone of this. If my personal experience offers you some comfort that I am truly glad, becuase it has made me feel better to know that someone else has gone through the very same thing that I have. Best wishes in getting through this.
