I'm 15 and had a dream when I was 14 - roughly a year ago. I cannot get this dream out of my head. I will not go into specifics because it is disgusting, but basically I was me, but younger - about 4 years old and I was about to be sexually abused - I was trying to force myself to wake up, as I knew this was a dream - usually this works but not this time. I felt scared and was crying. I dreamed of the surroundings as well. I woke up. I don't know what this dream means, if it ever happened to me or not. I do get very nervous and disgusted whenever my dad hugs me, or looks at my legs. He was not in the dream I had, but what does this mean also? Or am I just making something out of nothing? Please help me - I don't know what to think.

Oh, and I also have a thing about whenever something bad happens I push it to the back of my mind so as to forget about it - this is what makes me more concerned about the dream.

It may mean that you were abused, not by your father, but by another man. That could easily make you nervous about hugs from your dad.
Often victims of abuse learn to push unpleasant memories into the back of their minds. So, that just adds more credence to the idea that you were abused.
Dreams are a way for the brain to bring things out of our subconsious into our consious. Either you were sexually abused or you are afraid that you could be.
I would suggest you not dwell on it, or it will bother you even more. Unless you have other memories that come back, it's best just to not think about it much. Even if it happened, it's over and the statute of limitations is over.

I have never been sexually abused by anyone but I did have a dream once that my dad had sex with me. It was absolutely disgusting and I was quite shocked that I could have dreamt something so awful. I wouldn't start worrying that you were abused when you were younger. Maybe you read a news story and dismissed it and subconciously dreamt about it. I am telling you those as it is possible to dream things that you would not normally think about in your wildest dreams. x

some targets do sense greater actual than others, and the sensation can stay for a protracted time. Creepy, isnt it? yet your dream isn't too unusual, and remember human beings have all sorts of hectic targets. attempt to look at it logically and attractiveness some questions. you additionally can refer to a preparation counselor in school.

Sounds like a fear of intimacy.
