I keep having this dream where a raggedy ann doll is looking through my window at night with a pair of binoculars. She's not looking at me, but looking at my bathroom door. She is also standing on my window sill (shes on the outside) And when I get out of my bed, and look at her she runs away into these bushes into the swamp, and then I wake up, and then the next night I'm afraid to go back to sleep because I'm so afraid of her. What does it mean>? It's scaring me!

Here is a thought from left field, take it as you will.
According to your own description, the Raggedy Ann is not a threat. She's not even looking at you, she's looking at the bathroom door, and runs *from you* whenever you notice her.
And while the doll isn't exactly an animal per se, it moves on its own and acts on its own, so for dream purposes, it is animate, and can be used to represent a *thought* or memory.
So...did you sleep with a ragdoll or stuffed toy when you were younger? Was it like a security thing, because it seems like the ragdoll, creepy though it may be, is actually *watching your back*. It isn't watching you, it is watching the bathroom door, remember?
Is there something about the bathroom that threatens you enough to *bring back* your old security things from your earlier childhood? You also mention a swamp in the dream, which I think matters because well, swamp water *stinks* too, just like a toilet does. Is that your fear of the ragdoll talking, or something else?
Sorry to ask so many questions here, but it seems like you're distracted. The doll isn't a threat to you...chances are you brought whatever it means to you *to the dream yourself* so you don't have to spend your dream-time watching the bathroom door *yourself*....so, why would you? Watch that bathroom door that is?
As for the binoculars....they could mean a few things. Ragdolls have button eyes, so their "vision" might not be good (hey! it's a dream, sometimes the logic gets weird.), or it could just be a sign of *seriousness* that the doll isn't just passively looking, but actively *watching* with a tool at hand.
But yeah...I think you get the picture here. Try thinking outside of the box of the dream's immediate face-value imagery while you're awake, see where it goes. I know, it's scary, the dream *is* a reminder after all that there *is* an ongoing threat of some sort to you....
But I doubt it is the doll. If it were she'd be interacting with you and not doing anything with the binoculars OR that bathroom door, right? Just saying....
Hope this helps, and if the doll (or anything else in the dream) becomes too much to cope with, you might want to talk to someone older, and more professional, in real life about this.

I got this off of http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/d2.htm
"To dream that a doll comes to life, signifies your desires to be someone else and escape from your present problems and responsibilities. Dolls may serve as a means to act out your wishes.
To see a doll in your dream, symbolizes childhood innocence and light-hearted fun.
To dream that you are playing with a doll, represents a lack of communication between you conscious and unconscious mind. You may also have an immature attitude towards the opposite sex. "
It's fun to analyze your dreams either in a dream dictionary or on line..You can learn a lot about what could be bothering you subconsciously.

dreams talk in symbols. The trick to figuring them out is to know your symbols. Sounds to me that your on the outside looking in. Have you found yourself in a knew situation? New school or job or town? Not part of a group or feeling left out?Don't be afraid your dream is trying to help you deal with something in your sleep that you don't or can't face awake.

You have deep seated anxiety about your identity. Some early trauma has caused you to feel some fear. Please seek counseling and that will help you find the rest you need. Don't be afraid. The dream is just a pattern of images telling you that there is some issue within you about being female.

It means stop watching so much violence on television, and computer. Especially avoid watching horror movies.
