Death and Rape?

[MysticWaters]

I had this dream a few years ago and it still stands clear in my mind today.

It appears that I am in the mid-1800s. Throughout the dream, I am seeing through another girl's eyes. I am young, a teenager and it appears that I am away at bording school. As the dream opens, I am in a small, cold room 3 stories up. The walls are made of gray stone and there are bars on the only small window in the room. There is a red hue to everything, even though it is obvious the only light in the room is coming from the overcast sky outside. In the corner of the room is a dirty mattress spattered with dried blood. I know that the blood is not mine and that other girls have been raped here. I can feel the terror coursing through my body. I know that if I stay here, I will be raped as well. I turn to run and have to push thick, heavy chains (haning from the ceiling) out of my way.

The dream moves to another scene. I am walking down the stairs inside this same building with a friend and we see several girls peering out a window on the landing of the stairs. I look outside and there is a man laying face down in the snow with a large amount of blood coming from his head. There are three men standing around him. I go and sit on a stone step and my freind comes to sit with me. She is talking about how terrible it is that the teacher (the man in the snow) is dead. Her voice sounds faint as I try to remain calm. I know that I have killed him because he was the one trying to rape me.

I woke up terrified, the images wouldn't leave my head and they are still as clear as the night I had the dream.

I have another dream that deals with death that I will put in another post.
