What are possible meanings for dreams of molesting?

Themes of molestation and abuse arise frequently in the dreams of people who have unresolved issues from childhood. The first reaction is often to assume you were abused in childhood and repressed the memories, but that’s not usually the case.

Dreams make comparisons and exaggerate. What is presented in a dream as molestation is actually an exaggerated way of comparing to how you feel or what you have observed. If you boil down the idea of molestation, it translates as “mistreated” or “abused.” Molested children are, in essence, mistreated children. They’re vulnerable. Their innocence is preyed on and lost to adults who take advantage of them. Your situation might not have been that bad at home, or be bad presently in your life, but perhaps something inside you identifies with the idea of being taken advantage of, or of being vulnerable, mistreated, or innocent.

Molestation doesn’t only happen to children. As an adult you can feel molested when someone takes advantage of you and your good nature. You can feel molested in an emotionally unhealthy situation. It can be a way of saying you don’t trust someone—a molester is, after all, someone who can’t be trusted—especially when it comes to children or anyone else who is vulnerable or innocent.

A child molester can symbolize something that’s inexplicable in a bad way. The association is created by your being unable to understand why someone would molest a child.

In a similar way, a child molester can symbolize someone or something that disgusts you, something representing the lowest form of life. It can symbolize the feeling that someone deserves the harshest punishment.

The entry for Rape can give you more ideas about how a dream can start with an idea and branch out to create symbolism. Remember, molestation in a dream is likely to be a physical representation of a personal situation.

I dreamt that I was shitting out of my own mouth, and I could taste it

I know nobody here is going to believe this, so I'll keep this one short and to the point.

A few months ago, I got up in the middle of the night with the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. When I went downstairs and to the toilet,I felt myself gagging uncontrollably. I hunched over the bowl, with no idea what was about to happen. Suddenly, I felt my mouth distend like a snake's as a series of two-inch-wide, solid turds fell out of my mouth and splashed into the toilet. The taste was similar to the taste of morning breath, amplified by a thousand times more potent. And this wasn't just sleep paralysis, either. I was fully conscious the whole time, and I didn't realize that I was dreaming until I started vomiting shit. I woke up the next morning with the distinctive taste of the "shit" forever burned into my brain, and I am tasting that right now as I'm typing this.

I also had a dream where a succubus with tanned skin, light blue eyes, white hair and white lingerie molested me while I had sleep paralysis only 3 days after I attempted No Nut November, and she gave me that "I am so done with your shit" look before I woke up the next morning with jizz in my pants.

I am not taking any substances, I have never had sex, and I am genuinely looking for an interpretation for this. By the way, the mouth-shitting dream happened a couple months after the succubus dream, so maybe "she" was actually out to make me suffer? I dunno???

Feel free to tear me a new one in the comments, I just wanted a place to post this weird lucid dream.

I guess I should start taking some pills

I just had the craziest dream. I wake up in the middle of the night and my phone is floating in front of me. I look at it and I see that Jesus Christ just messaged me on Reddit. Then I get up and see Donald Trump in a night gown molesting a hot chick with long raven black hair and no face. Then I walk to the kitchen where my mom is and I'm just like: So Jesus just messaged me on Reddit, I gotta go...

I was raped in my dream.

I dreamt today that I was being raped forcefully by my father and his cousin brother. I know the cousin (Uncle) in real life and is the only family member from my dad's side who is close to our family. I woke up feeling disgusted and scared around 4 am today and I couldn't fall back to sleep after that.

I have been sexually molested in the past by one of my distant-cousin (not through blood relations). I have not told anybody about the incident, which happened 8years ago.

About today's dream, I haven't had any dream like that in the past. Yes, I once dreamt that I was pregnant and that I was giving birth and there was no father. I don't know what to think of it. I know it means nothing. My father has not done anything slightly related to assaulting or being violent. I moved to another city away from my parents at the age of 11 so I do not have a typical normal relationship with my parents. I love them but I am not very close to them.

I just wish there is an explanation to this. I feel disgusted and also bad for seeing a dream like that.

I dreamt of beating my pedo uncle up

A few years ago my family and I found out that my uncle had molested my older siblings when they were younger and it was heart breaking for all of us. In my dream he had come to visit for some reason and I wasn’t fucking with it. After yelling at him to leave a couple of times in my dream I was done and decided I wanted him out. I went into his “room” and decided to throw him out. He didn’t want to leave and decided to pull a sword out on me (lol idk why). My dad came in the room and he was obviously not gonna let that happen. I’ll spare y’all the gory details but my uncle ended up on the floor slightly hurt. My fiancé was in my dream and during all that she decided to call the police. But the fucker ran away by the time they got there. Anyway a few days had gone by in my dream and for some reason I was back at my old high school. My “friends” who were people I had never seen before, were walking next to me down the hall. I was very paranoid since my crazy uncle was still roaming. When we had walked out to the school parking lot we saw a strange car. I was terrified but we ended up having to walk near it. And of course it was him. He was about to get out of his car with the sword again but my friends were holding the car door closed so that he wouldn’t come out. I ran and when I looked back I saw a bunch of kids kicking the shit out of him. Seeing him on the floor I decided to run back and do the same. I guess the dream just made me realize how angry I was at the situation. Him being one of my fav uncles it broke my heart to find out what he did to my siblings who I love so much.The dream ended with me saying out loud “you gotta do what you gotta do”. Even though this isn’t something I would do in real life , and he’s far far away, it felt good to see him get what he deserved.

TL;DR I beat the shit out of my uncle who molested my older siblings in my dream and it was nice

Dreamt my father was trying to molest me

This is so fucking out of the norm for me. For some context - I had a completely trauma-free childhood - it wasn’t the perfect upbringing but I remember being happy most of the time. In my adulthood, a lot of friends and even relatives have commented that I had it rough and that a lot of what I considered normal was anything but, but it’s never progressed from there.

I have barely spoken with my dad over the past few years - I had a falling out with my mom that I guess he chose a side on, but even when we made up he never reached out again over birthdays or Christmas or anything.

I saw him for the first time yesterday at my parents place and it was a little bit awkward but not uncomfortable - just a bit sad that we’d lost our connection.

This brings me to my dream last night. I dreamt that my dad was trying to get me to “play” with him, and was trying to see how far I would go when he suggested something I do to/with him, but in a way that could still be considered innocent if someone walked in. We were around the corner of a house where some sort of BBQ/afternoon party was happening with family and friends - I didn’t see any other family in the dream but I just knew where we were.

This makes me sick to even entertain the idea that this was more than just a dream, but here’s why I’m stumped.

I have NEVER had a dream like that before, and I have ABSOLUTELY NO memories of anything like this. My dad never ever made me feel uncomfortable or acted inappropriately when I was I was growing up.

So I guess I’m posting here to ask if there’s a logical explanation for what I dreamt last night. I can’t imagine any reason my mind would translate any sort of sadness about our relationship breakdown into something so fucking disgusting and foreign to me personally. Could a dream about this possibly me about something else?

Thank you so much in advance.

And just as a side note - I don’t mean disgusting in a way that degraded any victims of sexual assault.
