idk if its a syndrome but i think i have it. in my heart i know that i never did/say/hear things but in my head its saying that i did. usually it comes from dreams and then i wake up and think that i have had it actually happen.
for example i had a dream that i was raped and now it feels like i actually was. i cant go around any guy w/out freaking out or have anybody touch me w/out getting vivid images of what "happened".
idk what to do but im too ashamed to talk about it with anyone.
what do i do?
serious answers please, im really stressing.

It sounds like you're not telling anyone about this, so why is it a lie? I really think you need to find a professional to tell about this. With my limited knowleddge, I could imagine two scenarios: One is that you were sexually victimized and for some reason your mind is trying to suppress it, but without much success.
Do you know the person you dreamed about? Perhaps if you went to a gynecologist she could tell you if it looks like you've been violated. Anyway I'll provide a link on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder if I can find a good one.
The other possibility I would consider would be that it's some type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. But really you need to see a competent professional to help you sort this out.

Yah you need to talk to someone about this. It may be a matter of some "exercises" for the brain to get over this. DO NOT ignore it because it can cause SERIOUS troubles.
I know ppl who lie like a sidewalk and its very rough. I actually lots a friendship over it to one person, and the other person is coming up close to loseing our friendship.
Don't ignore it. Talk to a cousellor, physicologist, Doctor, professor/teacher/parent/friend, etc... Get some help

no but i know someone who does...its really bad too as it causes such problems with family and friends. eventually they become isolated and no one believes them even if they are telling the truth. plus their lies have hurt so many including themselves. i really think you need to see a counselor, it seems i have read somewhere there is medication to control this kind of like with the obsessive compulsive thing. don't worry and don't be ashamed just get help you shouldn't have to live this way and neither should your friends and family...good luck.

I think it would be wise to see a psychiatrist or physiologist and talk it out to get some answers & ways to deal.

I think you should realize that it was just a dream and move on.
