There are dreams after which you are glad that you woke up. But even nightmare visions cannot curb human curiosity. Why do we dream about rape, we ask ourselves, trying not to think about the monstrous realism of the dream, while at the same time keeping in mind the details that can help in solving the mystery from the world of dreams.
Different dream books offer different interpretations, but they all have a common basis - symbolism in the interpretation of a dream about rape.
Meaning of the rape symbol
If we turn to the simplest etymology, rape is coercion, when you are forced to do something against your will. Therefore, a dream about rape, which should not be taken literally, can prophesy a prototype of such an action in the real world - the dreamer will have to do something that he himself does not want to do at all. This can apply to any area of life: business, personal or creative. In any case, anyone who is interested in why a girl, the dreamer himself, or someone else is raped in a dream should gather his thoughts and prepare for the fact that soon his willpower will be tested to the limit.
Rape is always about control. Over the body, over the spirit, over thoughts. The shackles of manipulative control are difficult to remove without a key, but it is possible. And for every action there is a reaction.
Recurrent dreams of violence
People often wonder if there is cause for concern if dreams about forced sexual intercourse recur periodically. In this case, it is worth turning to esotericists, who associate this phenomenon with attempts by forces from above to draw attention to those events that take place in the dreamer’s real life. So, from this it may be concluded that a person should make this or that decision in time so that the situation is resolved in his favor. Psychologists also support this opinion, emphasizing that such dreams are the result of what is happening to the subject in reality. For example, when a person is under constant stress due to everyday or other problems.
Dream Interpretation of Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima
Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima argue that if a person dreams of rape, regardless of who or against whom it was committed, this is a clear sign that the dreamer puts too much pressure on the people around him and, moreover, has a bad habit of imposing his opinion.
The dream book warns that for any force there will be someone stronger, so soon pressure may be applied precisely over the one who pressed.
This is one of the few dream books that says that any rape in a dream puts the dreamer in the role of an aggressor of a similar action. There is no place in it to clarify the action in a dream, but it gives very wise advice: treat people the way you want them to treat you.
Ready?
What does the threat of violence itself warn about in dreams? The dream book believes that you will find out someone’s secret, after which you will worry and suffer.
Did you dream of a serious threat to your loved ones? In reality you will find yourself subordinate to a very bad person.
In a dream, did you have to fear for your own life? Such a plot serves as an omen of a serious and possibly incurable illness.
American dream book
Why do you dream about rape according to the American dream book? Here this dream is interpreted as accepting someone else's reality as one's own. This is wrong and must be dealt with as quickly as possible before the feeling of being robbed develops into a true loss of strength and self-respect. It is likely that the dreamer feels like those around him are trying to invade his life. It is in his power to prevent this.
The Dream Interpretation recommends understanding your own thoughts and goals, which will help you understand yourself so that, every day, going out to a new battle with the world, you will win in it, and not suffer losses.
Specific transcripts
For a more accurate interpretation, the dream book advises to establish the type of crime.
- Murder is a decline, participation in a crime.
- Sexual intercourse - you should take a break from family and work.
- A fight is an internal struggle.
- Kidnapping - everything will be decided without your participation.
- A bandit attack is news of betrayal.
- Moral humiliation is great happiness.
Eastern dream book
If a girl dreamed that she was raped, it means that in reality she will be betrayed by a close friend. Why do you dream about attempted rape? The intrigues that are being built against the dreamer will not be brought to life - fate itself will arrange everything in such a way that the traitors will be fools. But she shouldn’t rely on that alone, and should still remain vigilant, preparing to take a blow from where she didn’t expect it. The criminal is always the one who is least like him.
If there were several rapists, this is a sign of a whole conspiracy by a group of people, perhaps work colleagues or a group of friends. There is a positive side to this - large games cannot be played unnoticed, and the emerging betrayal on the part of many people will be easier to uncover. If the Universe has given you the opportunity to see such a dream and solve it, it will also be willing to turn the situation to your advantage.
How do psychotherapists explain such a dream?
In addition to the mystical explanation of what rape means in a dream, it makes sense to listen to the opinion of professional psychologists on this issue. Night vision with a similar plot, bright and memorable, according to experts, may be a reflection of suppressed emotions or serious worries about what is happening in reality. A dream about rape, especially a recurring one, can have several interpretations:
- In a dream, the subconscious tries to realize hidden erotic fantasies and desires, which in ordinary life are suppressed and are under moral prohibitions. At the same time, in order to avoid the feeling of guilt that arises when realizing what is desired, the subconscious creates a scenario in which everything happens against the will.
- The violence experienced in a dream is a punishment with which one’s own subconscious tries to atone for the feeling of guilt for an unseemly act committed in reality. Such a desire to punish oneself may not be related to sexuality. If this is the reason, then you should listen to the need to come to terms with yourself and try to correct (compensate) the consequences of the act that caused such strong feelings.
- The dream is an echo of long-standing stressful events and psychological trauma.
- The dreamer has been accumulating discontent, anger, and aggression towards specific people or events for a long time. The solution may be an accessible way to release negative emotions in real life, such as art or sports.
Women's dream book
The dream of rape, contrary to the general stereotype that a bad dream is a good reality, is not interpreted as something favorable. Problems will not bypass the one who dreamed about this. The dream book warns of a possible break in relations with a partner, and quite painful one at that.
Why do you dream about raping your friend? It is better for the dreamer to warn her family and friends - it seems that some of them are in danger of trouble.
In general, many dream books say that if someone, but not the dreamer himself, is raped in a dream, you can expect trouble with your friends. But this is a very broad interpretation: it is not known how close the one who dreamed of this is to the one for whom troubles are predicted, and it is not specified in what area there will be problems. In fact, the dream book states rather that the dreamer will be very sad about his comrade than that something will happen to him. It seems that fate does not give the slightest chance to change everything, just to prepare for the coming grief. In addition, it turns out that the dreamer finds out everything after the fact.

Seeing violence in a dream or being subjected to violence yourself is a signal that you have a habit of putting pressure on people or imposing your will on them, which can have a detrimental effect on you. Such a dream suggests that there will always be a more powerful force for strength, and therefore it is better to live in accordance with the golden rule: “Don’t push, so you won’t be pushed.”
Dream Book of David Loff

Dreams about rape are dreams about cruelty. You can play the role of attacker, victim or observer. In these types of dreams, your role and the feelings you have towards others are key factors in understanding the meaning of the dream.
If you have recurring dreams in which you are the victim of rape, you need to determine whether post-traumatic stress plays a role in your dreams.
A single dream in which you are a victim of rape usually conveys cruel, unfair or ruthlessly exploitative treatment of you in real life. In dreams of this kind, the rapist is a person without a face. This is explained by the fact that people close enough to you, in order to exploit you, also maintain closeness in other, more positive forms. The dream does not indicate actual aggression against you, but warns that you have become subservient to others.
The role of the aggressor in a rape scene usually indicates unresolved conflict or suppressed anger towards someone. As in the case of the victim described above, the person being raped in a dream is often a faceless character. For example, if you are holding in anger towards a boss, parent, teacher, or co-worker of the opposite sex, you may have a rape dream. The nature of the source of suppressed anger that exists in real life can help unravel the meaning of such a dream.
The answer to the question of why you have not yet given vent to the accumulated feelings may also help in solving it. A 25-year-old woman describes her dream: “Even before I began to have a full sex life, I often had dreams in which men were tied up. I exposed them sexually. Such harassment was always carried out against their will. The violence came exclusively from me, and I was guided by my desire. The men were strangers to me, sometimes I didn’t even notice their faces. It’s strange that such dreams came to me even before I knew what sex life really was.”
The woman had an extremely difficult and turbulent relationship with her father. Although there were no attempts at incest or sexual harassment on his part, their relationship was not very warm. According to the woman, their relationship with their father sometimes became especially aggravated and became bitter. But as they improved, the frequency of repetition of the rape dream decreased. The role of witnessing a rape scene is often an anxiety-inducing one, as you feel helpless because you cannot help the victim. Sometimes you intuitively feel the connection between the victim and the attacker. This may indicate hidden anger or your position as an exploited person in real life. Observation is an attempt to distance oneself from the trauma of what happened. This state of affairs allows us to better understand the relationship between the attacker and the raped. Consequently, the psychological protection gained from indirect participation in the scene loses its power as the observer becomes aware of who is directly involved in the rape.

The meaning of this dream depends entirely on the role you play in it.
If you are raped, this is certainly a negative fact, not only in reality, but also in a dream: it seems to you that they are asking too much of you. Your strengths are limited, but those around you increase their demands and build them without taking into account your capabilities. The unconscious rebels against such abuse of the individual and sends a message in a specific form that this cannot continue this way.
If in a dream you yourself commit a crime against a person’s sexual integrity, it is obvious that your relationships with friends and family have become strained. This is the result of you demanding too much from them, extolling your individual qualities. In any situation, you should control yourself and not lead your relationships with others to conflict. Remember that sometimes you need to give in to someone, and sometimes show perseverance and not give in to pressure even from your boss; beware of those people who have the habit of sitting on the neck of a person who has given in to them at least once; it is not possible to remove them from there.

If someone rapes you, you should be more restrained with your enemies. The dream book advises you to inadvertently give them a small present and then everything will work out for you. If you do this yourself, in order to hush up one conflict situation you will need to go against your opinion.
If you dreamed that the villain also abused the victim - wait, soon some news about grief in the family of your friends will greatly stun you.

Modern dream book
Anyone who was not lucky enough to see such a terrible dream in the darkness of the night will be shocked by the misfortune that happened to one of his comrades - this is what dreams of raping a wife or someone you know mean.
For a young woman to have such a dream means that her pride will soon be deeply hurt. She may also face public humiliation. The concept of pride and arrogance should not be confused here. When pride and dignity are hurt, it’s a matter of honor, but if pride is disturbed, well, perhaps it’s even useful to come down from the throne of arrogance to the ground, evaluate yourself soberly, improve the pros and try to eliminate the cons.
Miller's Dream Book: beating a girl
According to Miller, if you dream of beating a girl, you have a long journey ahead, relax in new cities, and expand your circle of acquaintances. Soon you will have the opportunity to visit other cities, and perhaps even countries. This trip will seriously expand the circles of your acquaintances, and will also give you new good friends. And one of these people will become your very good and close friend.
According to Miller's analysis, girls are very multifaceted in their meaning. Their appearances promise positive life changes. At times they represent the emergence of new friends who will help cope with problems. Important: Miller gave important advice not to lose discretion and not to rush into decisions.
Dream book of the 21st century
This dream book gives more positive forecasts than the previous ones. Despite similar prophecies for a dreamer who dreamed of raping a friend or himself (for a girl), the interpretation for a woman who saw such a dream is completely different. Rape in a dream means that she will achieve her goals. But even if there are obstacles on the way to them, you should not be afraid of them, the dreamer is able to overcome them. In addition, it is much more pleasant to get what you want, knowing how much you have done to get it. Only what was given for a reason has true value. Only such things cannot be assessed by simple cost.
If the rapist is a stranger
How does the dream book explain sex with a stranger? There are several conjectural interpretations that rape in a dream was committed by an unknown person:
- If you see such a dream before an important business event (meeting with promising clients, an interview, speaking at an important event, etc.), this is considered a signal of the need to change your line of behavior or negotiation tactics. Otherwise, your actions can seriously harm your own affairs and negate the efforts expended.
- Seeing yourself in a dream as a passive victim of a rapist whose face cannot be seen or recognized means that the dreamer is currently in a subordinate position, he is being manipulated, and they are unfairly trying to exploit him morally or physically. The dream book explains sex with a stranger by saying that such unpleasant things are done by very close people who, for their own purposes, maintain a close connection with the dreamer.
Dream Book of David Loff
David Loff, logically reasoning that dreams of violence are cruel dreams, assigned three roles to such dreams. So, the dreamer can be a victim, an aggressor or an observer.
In the first case, post-traumatic stress is likely to blame. The one who had this dream recently suffered some kind of shock, and now the subconscious is acting out on his dreams.
In addition, a dream in which the sleeper plays the role of a rape victim may mean that in reality he is being cruelly exploited. The one who had this dream is clearly not satisfied with the subjugation of others, but he is unable to cope with the manipulation directed at him.
The second role - the role of the aggressor - is brought to the fore in the dream in order to reflect the unresolved conflict, pent-up anger and rage that exists in real life.
The role of observer played by the dreamer in a dream about violence may indicate that he prefers to live by the rule “my house is on the edge”; the policy of non-interference in his opinion is the best. But he should reconsider this position, because perhaps in this way he will be indirectly guilty of the misfortunes that befall his comrades.
Solicited by strangers
If strangers start clinging to you on the street, the modern dream book indicates that you are afraid of increased male attention, ridicule or bullying.
If a girl feels that men like her, she will dream of harassment and attempted rape, especially by strangers. The exact meaning of the dream depends on the characteristics of the characters.
Becoming a victim of violence in the dark is an unfavorable sign. Such a dream foretells you troubles, female diseases or forbidden pleasure, if during sleep you felt that you enjoyed the process.
Typically, such night scenes are seen by girls with puritanical morals or those who are waiting for their prince, rejecting the advances of classmates and peers, considering them second-class citizens. The awakening attraction is expressed in such images when a man takes her by force.
Overt violence in a dream with beatings, fights and blood can turn into reality, provided that there are prerequisites for its occurrence. This is indirectly indicated by the dream setting.
Try not to visit this place shortly after sleep and be careful. If nothing like this happens, harassment indicates that you will have to do something against your will.
It also matters who committed the abuse and under what circumstances. If a girl is pursued in a dream by an adult man with whom she is not familiar, the dream predicts pressure and restrictions in actions.
It is possible that this person or a guy similar to him will force you to do something that is unpleasant. Such dreams are often seen by teenagers who have difficult relationships with their parents. Possible escalation of conflicts, constant quarrels and troubles, sometimes physical punishment.
If a man catches you on the street and mocks you, expect trouble and scandals. Sometimes such a dream foreshadows an unequal struggle or harassment from a neighbor, relative or friend of the parents.
If a man you know starts pestering you, expect a frank conversation with this person. But don’t trust him - it’s possible that he will force you to do something unpleasant or subjugate you to his will.
If a drunk stranger starts chasing you and trying to rape you, expect unexpected success. Such a dream may portend a new acquaintance.
Remember the appearance of the one who began to harass you. A nice man predicts changes in his personal life, communication with a pleasant person.
Dreams of violence with him indicate that your resistance to falling in love will be in vain. Such dreams are seen by girls who are too strict about life, not allowing themselves small liberties and pleasant moments. If the dreamer is one of them, then the man’s persistence in life in a dream is expressed in the fact that he begins to rape her or try to do so. Such stories are based on fear of temptation, love and trust in men. Run away from a beautiful stranger - all his attempts to melt the ice in your heart will fail. It’s a completely different matter if you dream of a freak, a tramp, a mentally ill or ugly man stalking you.
When he began to haunt you in a dream, an unpleasant situation will happen in life. Such a plot indicates forced communication with extremely unsympathetic people, drunkards, submission to bad influences or negative circumstances.
A girl may dream of persecution if she left her boyfriend. It is possible that he will not give up trying to achieve reciprocity and will take action.
Composite dream book
Why do you dream about your daughter being raped? Such a dream seems very nightmarish - there is a desire to forget it as soon as possible, and, of course, most of all you want it to never come true. But the dreamer need not worry; such a dream prophesies his daughter’s wedding.
The worst version of rape - if it ends in murder in a dream - will lead to the fact that the changes that have overtaken the dreamer will worsen his situation in all areas of life.
An unsuccessful attempt to control your life is what you dream of raping a child. The dreamer did not choose the best way to sort out his affairs.
Beating a girl - according to Loff's publication
According to Loff, beating a girl is a sign of material and monetary success, buying a long-awaited item, achieving goals and dreams. A constant symbol of wealth and monetary well-being. Meeting girls in dreams is an enviable success. A lot of positive life changes regarding your well-being await you.
Unlike other interpreters, Loff did not divide dreams into good and bad. According to his judgment, almost every dream is a harbinger of good changes. The tendency of people to perceive the same signs in different ways also contributes. And if you dreamed about girls, you shouldn’t consider this a bad sign at all.
See a girl being raped
Big changes are coming , and you will meet a very influential person on your life’s path. The determining fact is the place where everything happened. If in a crowded place, in front of everyone, you will get a lot of attention from your loved one. In an abandoned house, garage, barn - many secrets will be revealed to you.
If the rape was committed during the day, expect an important conversation with your superiors. The dark time of day indicates a quick resolution of many matters, especially if they are related to family life.
If you saw and were able to remember the rapist himself, then this will help to most accurately interpret the dream.
If he was a stranger, you can expect signs of attention and even gifts from a secret suitor. The role of the rapist was the victim's lover - unplanned love affairs will not let you get bored.
A relative is a messenger of family quarrels and troubles. The face was blurry or you don’t remember it - you need to forget old grievances and start living again. Gang rape - indicates many fans, secret admirers.
The way the victim behaves, what he says, does - all this will also help to further reveal the secrets of the dream. If a girl tries to run away, an urgent move or change of job is just around the corner.
The girl does not resist - it is quite possible that your health will deteriorate, illness. She is tied (shackled) - there are pleasant purchases and gifts ahead, she is on her feet - you will come out of an unpleasant situation with honor. But if he lies down without showing signs of life, there is short-term loneliness.
Analysis according to the lunar dream book
It is during the second and fourth phases of the lunar cycle that this dream comes true most often. New moon and full moon periods also have a high probability mark. It is also important that the chance of beating a girl the rest of the time is much lower. This time is also considered a fairly favorable and good period in life.
The publication of the lunar dream book is absolutely unique in its purpose. It contains the probability of dreams coming true depending on the lunar cycle. It is based on statistics on the dependence of dreams on lunar phases and a person’s environment. And to use it correctly, you need to have the skills to read the lunar calendar.
