Dream Dictionary

Dreaming about being raped is a nightmare that inflicts fear and anxiety upon recall. Since rape is a brutal and deeply personal violation, it suggests that the dreamer may be feeling robbed of options and negated as a human being. In a dream, as in real life, rapes have very little to do with sex. It is about power, control, anger, and other very destructive emotions. In order to understand this dream, you may need to think about the areas of your life that causes you great anxiety and fear. If you are superstitious, take this dream as a warning. Take precautions, protect yourself emotionally and physically and don't engage in careless behaviours. If you were a rape victim, the traumatic nature of this experience may cause you to have a dream like this from time to time.

If you were watching someone else being raped and found yourself unwilling or unable to help them, this could reflect frustrations over being unable to right a wrong in your waking life.
