Is it normal to have reoccurring rape and molestation nightmares?

For the past few years as far back as I can remember I’ve been having awfully realistic nightmares about being raped and molested by a family member I have, they always seem so real until I wake up, that’s the only way I know it wasn’t real due to it being so realistic in the dream. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

    You were probably molested/raped when you were a child, it might be repressed memories caming back. Is normal sad but normal in victims of abuse

    Do you feel like you can't move when it's happening. Does it also take place in the place you were sleeping? Also are your eyes kind of awake for it, but your body feels "paralyzed"?

        Ahh okay. I was thinking it could be sleep paralysis.
