A horrid, horrid nightmare....

[Shadowsong]

My grandma is really sick and I guess when this dream took place she had passed away.... and well anyway my grandpa couldn't really handle it too well I guess...he was like my grandpa but someone else... idk hard to explain...but anyway for some reason I was visiting him on my own... and their house is quite creepy to begin with...and I just remember what he did so clearly.... gods it was so scary... the room... the kitchen table which for once was clean... gods... and their hallway is really narrow... so when I was trying to get past him with the boxes....I remember... carrying some boxes into the living room or something....
he just grabbed me all of the sudden and said it was my fault she was dead....and he raped me.I was so scared when I woke up...
I just... I'm kind of scared to go to sleep..... like... my sweet old Grampie Joe would NEVER EVER EVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT ANYONE... so I don't see why he... of all people in a nightmare... would.......
Uhm.... anyone got insights? I'm just scared to death but I don't know why....

Dreams of rape are dreams of violence. A dream of rape can also mean an Immediate warning!Your role and feelings about Your Grandpa in this event are crucial to understanding the meaning of your dream. Do You feel personally violated,thwarted,or exploited in waking life? Is there a lack of affection between You and Your grandpa? This dream could mean many different things. I would look into the dream guide a bit and see what you find there. Hallways sometimes symbolize worries.The boxes could have meaning as well. Generally dreaming about a grandparent symbolizes love,security, protection. The kitchen table could mean needy circumstances. There is a Sticky at the top of this section take a look around some of the dream dictionaries perhaps.

Shalaye's right I would look into it. Perhaps also your worried about your grandfathers mental health after the death of his, and it seems to me that you have gained some baggage from it as well. Maybe you feel like you could have done something more for your grandmother and weren't able to, so you unknowingly are giving yourself a lot of unneeded guilt over it.

Just as a suggestion, since grandparents do represent security, perhaps it means that your security since this has happened or will happen is going to fall apart. The boxes in the hallways could represent that right now everyone's sense of what was is going to have a profound effect on everyone but esapecially your grampa. Mental, and emotional clutter and strife, He's lived with her, loved her for so long, that naturally it's goin to impact him, change him drastically. The clean table could represent the fact that she is not or will not be there. I am sorry you had such a frightening dream. :hugz: and soothing energy on the way. These are just my ideas however, you know the situation better then i do.

Thank you all so much for your help, it means a lot to me. :hugz: Especially now.
