Dream Interpretation (serious answers only please)?

I was raped about 7 years ago, I still have nightmares about it and him, but last night I had a dream that I have never had before and I don't understand its meaning. Any serious ideas of what it could mean would be a great help because it is bothering me a great deal.

My dream:

" I was in my room and I roll over and see the man that raped me but instead of being afraid or upset (any of the normal emotions I feel towards him) I felt attracted to him. We started kissing and he eventually took my clothes off and we had willing and very enjoyable sex, then we just layed there enjoying each others company and my currant boyfriend walks in on us. Im still naked so he knows what had happened and he gets so angry he can't speak he just leaves. (I don't see or think about the man that raped me again its like he disappears) I grab my rob and run after my boyfriend and he almost backs over me with his car and that's the last I see of him. I try to reach him to talk to him to try and explain thing and try to fix things but never can."

Any serious thoughts would be a great help. Thank you.

    You might be feeling guilty for being raped, or that your boyfriend despises you for it. Maybe your boyfriend does not know? You likely dream that you love your rapist because you're trying to feel okay with what happened, and live with it. It's your mind trying to heal itself. As long as you don't let the dream affect your life it will be okay. If your boyfriend is understanding, tell him your fears. Being honest with him will help and he can help you deal with the dream.

    I think it probably its a sequel of PTSD, but only a psychiatrist can tell you that...
