Answer:
I'm so sorry for what happened to you.

You never "get over" being raped. You learn to deal with life again, but it's not something you just get over completely and are unaffected after that. It's a huge violation, and should be dealt with as one.

What you're going through sounds normal to me. I would suggest talking to a counselor or therapist to help you work through the natural issues you're going through. Also, I hope you have a good support system of friends and family. Let them know what's going on with you. Ironically, it's less healthy to act like everything is fine when it's not than it is to admit there's a problem.

Have you pressed charges against your attacker? It doesn't make the pain/fear/issues go away, but I've heard that it does provide a kind of sense of closure to face your attacker and see him punished for what he did to you.

Best of luck to you.
Thats, very serious, did you see a psychiatrist therapist (if not you should consider going to see one). Basicly, it might be propelled by the fact that you still fear these things, being raped or be murdered. Dreams are our fears, and repressed emotions that come out as memories of things that happened except demented. The fact that its getting worse means your still not over your thoughts or fears.
im sorry about that. but you are not over it. you need to talk to a psychologist.
