The memory of these dreams still bother me to this day. I don't ever recall having been a victim of sexual abuse IRL, but I had these nightmares, including an experience where I felt I was being violated by a demon during sleep paralysis. I'm not joking. Is it possible I was repressing abuse or has anyone else had the same experience? What does it mean?

    It's possible that you're repressing events that actually took place, but if you don't have any solid evidence for or against the idea that the attack actually happened then speculating isn't necessarily helpful. Speculation makes it possible to convince yourself something did or didn't happen regardless of reality. I'd be cautious about unintentionally convincing yourself of something and causing even more distress as a result

    This does not mean you are repressing abuse. Its just a bad dream.
