Well if you're confusing dreams with reality that can be caused by sleep deprivation and sleep problems and I was told by my psychiatrist it can also be psychiatric I guess as part of psychosis when a person has trouble distinguishing between what really happened and what didn't and then I think it's even worse for someone with both.  I sort of had something like that happened where I was remembering a part of my life but then realized it was all from a dream and remembered the way it really was.

Best to do is ask your psychiatrist what this is why this is happening and have them explain to you what is going on.

I experienced a period when I dreamed frequently about my mother, who by the way has been dead since 1984.  My dreams were that I was always searching for her.  Her home was there as though she were just in another room, but she had actually walked out, left, fled, as she didn't want me around her or wanted my company.  She was "gone" for months, or years.  I would wake up feeling this loss and wondered where she went to, wondered what had I done to make her hate me, etc.  I mentally searched for her while awake, not realizing that she was truly deceased.  Then one day it clicked in me that my torment had all been through repeated dreams.  So yes it can happen.  I think when we dream we are working through issues that had not yet been resolved.  I came to the realization that it was not me who caused her problems, but her own issues that caused her to put such distance between us.  With more thought on this, I managed to resolve this issue and have not had anymore dreams about this matter.

Are you getting the counseling you need regarding the rapes?  This sounds like it may be related.

Well, I will tell you we don't always remember what our dreams were and even if we don't remember they can still hang out after we wake, disrupting our day. Some say you "wake up on the wrong side of the bed." I think that's what it means.

You could go from depressed to a grumpy, moody, angry really easily for no reason, that's for sure. I do agree you are probably dreaming about the bad things that happen to you. How could you not? You probably have a lot of concerns to bring up at your therapy sessions and it will take you a long time to heal.

Xila31 is right, I had a short period recently where I couldn't remember my dreams at all but they left me feeling really disturbed and out of it.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers during your therapy.  I know it is tough but getting the help you need now is so much better than trying to live with memories and feelings related to this, until later in life.  Hang in there.  It will get better eventually.
