Seek counseling... Its better to express your problems with someone then to keep them in! Good luck

It was obviously someone within or close to your family that molested you. You are fearful that the same thing will happen to your son and you equate it with you that is why you are in the dream with him. This is a form of flash back to what happened to you. If you never dealt with this with counseling then I suggest you go so you can at least come to terms with what happened to you. Your dreams will end when you have dealt with what happened to you. You will always have a fear there under the surface because it is hard for you to trust people that are in your close family circle. This DOES NOT mean that you are interested in your son. It means that you have unresolved issues with your past and that you love your son and you are afraid for him. Good Luck

You are suffering from PTS - post trauma syndrome - and counseling is an excellent way to resolve those issues from your childhood so they do not affect your own children. Remember dreams are just dreams but indicates you still have not resolved issues of the sexual assault.
There is nothing wrong with you, rather your brain is working over time due to the hormones. Talk to your doctor and get a referral for counseling.

I don't think there's something wrong with you. Dreams are the way our brains process sub conscience thoughts. I think you do need to get some counseling so you can resolve your feelings about your abuse and your son. I don't know which kind of therapist you need, but find out and get help.
By the way, to prevent your own children from being abused, always supervise them and know the people you associate with. Supervise, but don't smother.

Um just to be safe I think maybe you should seek counceling, especially if you have not yet done so to get over your horrible childhood experiences. Nothing is wrong with you, but I'm no professional so I would get help to see why you're having that dream. Good luck!

well if you think you need mental help go for it chances are you do. whats the worst thing that can happen? it may help you a lot but it couldn't hurt, it may even help your child by you being a better rounded parent. also you can join some parenting groups there are a lot of good ones out there that are free to join
